Geocache Description:

An easy one for the hill walkers and just a small detour away from the marked trail running from the North Wales path to Cefn Maen Amor/Tal y Fan.

This spot reminds me of the poem we learnt in school called Nant y Mynydd. (mountain stream) The poet (John Ceiriog Hughes) in his heart is still a son of the mountain yearning to be with the heather, stream and birds.

Nant y mynydd gloyw loyw,
Yn ymdroelli tua'r pant,
Rhwng y brwyn yn sisial ganu:
O na bawn i fel yr nant!
("groyw loyw" 'dwi'n gweld ar y we ond gloyw loyw 'dwi'n cofio dysgy yn yr ysgol)

The cache is a small sandwich box with a log book and pencil along with a couple of items. It should be easy to find but I'm posting a couple of waypoints for anyone less used to the area. It's possible to head towards the old reservoir by mistake so that's another reason for extra waypoints.
