Geocache Description:

South Wales Mountain Cache Challenge 25 is number twenty five in a series of thirty caches that have been placed in the South Wales mountains.

The South Wales Mountain Cache Challenge has thirty caches placed in various parts of the upland areas of the Principality. A mountain is defined as being at least 2000 feet high, but here in Wales, we like to call some of higher hills mountains as well, and so several of the caches have been placed in areas that I perceive to be beautiful, but do not fall within the definition of a mountain!
Please also understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and is an entirely subjective view!
Many of the caches have been placed in the mountains within the Brecon Beacons National Park.

This cache has been placed in arguably the most famous of all Welsh Valleys, The Rhondda. The cache is situated on the side of Mynydd Troed-y-Rhiw, and affords excellent views over the surrounding hills and towns below. On a good day you'll see the coast and Mynydd Maendy windfarm, as well as the more rugged Rhondda Hills to the north.

Do not forget to look for a clue within the cache, as to find number thirty in the series, you will need 17 clues that are hidden in the first 29 caches in the series.
