This cache is placed in a small plastic clip and lock container and could be a cache and dash as it is placed on verge of a minor road. It is a simple cache containing a log book, pencil and sharpener and a stapler. There would be space for Geocoins and small TB's.
This a series of small caches placed in the area around Bontgoch a small village above Bow Street and Penrhyncoch. The explanation of the series title for non Welsh speakers is " Boxes in Cols " i.e the caches hidden at the geographic feature known as a col, or bwlch in Welsh. A col is a gap in a ridge which often but not always represents the crossing point from the head of one valley to another. On the map they often stand out as the flat area with no contours with contours converging from the surrounding hills and valleys. Excellent views can be had from most of these cols. All of these caches could also be done whilst doing the Syfydrin Trail(see Forestry Commission Wales Website) a long distance mountain bike route which also passes caches 2,3 and 4 in this series. If you enjoy very long walks all four of caches could be done on a circular walk on public footpaths and lanes. Care should be taken whilst driving on the narrow single track roads that give access to these caches. Some of the roads are gated so please close them afterwards. You will also need to be comfortable reversing on narrow twisty roads with few passing places. For the caches that can only be reached on foot please ensure you wear suitable clothing and footwear and that you are happy navigating with map and compass as mist and cloud can quickly cover these hills.
We will try to add to this series when we get time.
