This is the first geocache I have placed - in fact it was placed by by husband on Barry Island, South Wales as his name is Barry so we thought it fitting for a first cache.
Barry Island (Welsh: Ynys y Barri) is a district, peninsula and seaside resort, forming part of the town of Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. It is named after the 6th century Saint Baruc. Barry's stretch of coast, on the Bristol Channel, has the world's second highest tidal range, of 15 metres (49 ft), second only to Bay of Fundy in Eastern Canada.
The peninsula was an island until the 1880s when it was linked to the mainland as the town of Barry expanded. This was partly due to the opening of Barry Dock by the Barry Railway Company. Established by David Davies, the docks now link up the gap which used to form Barry Island.
Although the Barry Island used to be home to a Butlins Holiday Camp, it is now known more for its beach and more traditional British seaside entertainment (i.e. not a lot!)
The cache is a small lock and lock container which was placed with a trackable bug, geocoin, hotel card, log book, pencil, FTF badge, silver painted jigsaw piece and a silica gel!
You will need to walk up a bit of a slope but it is pretty accessible for wheelchair users and young children/buggies.
Enjoy!
