This cache is our First and is a tupperware sandwich box with
enough room for quite a few small swaps and several travel bugs!
:)
This cache is placed on a lovely walk through Llantrisant Forest
(Mynydd Garthmaelwg). A perfect place for an afternoon stroll with
a picnic spot near the cache site. (There are no bins so Please

facilities on the main road through the forestry.
There is a small yet perfectly formed FTF Certificate awaiting the
first lucky geocacher! :)
Please replace the cache very carefully ready for the next
visitor.
