Geocache Description:

This cache is located close to the summit of Craigyfedwen, which offers some fantastic views over the Conwy valley and surrounding area. The cache has been placed to continue the ‘Curse of the FTF – Conwy ‘ series.

This is a "cursed cache" for all First to Finders (FTF's) out there. If you are the FTF for a cache in this series and you choose to play, you are "cursed", with the obligation to place another "Curse of the FTF" cache and therefore extending the series. Below are the guidelines of the cursed cache series.

1) The FTF'er should place the next cache in the series [in this case, Curse of the FTF - Conwy # 6(…….) ] within 1 month. Please note only the FTF'ers should place the next cache and not every time someone finds the cache.

2) You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along.

3) Cache can be any size or type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.), but I do ask that: You set it in Conwy and if it is a puzzle then it cannot be too hard as it should be easy enough for everyone to find.

4) You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series. I will be happy to answer any questions concerning the guidelines or about the placing of caches to those who have not placed a cache before.

By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another Conwy cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find. However, if you do not intend to carry on the series please Do Not ‘FTF’ and leave it for someone else.

Now onto the cache:

The cache is located near the summit, just to the side of the main path and is a clip lock container with a logbook and trade items.

The hill itself is made of hard rhyolite, a volcanic rock stripped with quartz. The quartz is clearly visible on the flat summit. Craigyfedwen used to be the site of a hill fort.

Many thanks must go to the National Park warden for granting permission to place the cache here.

Congratulations to 'andycop' for been first to find.
