At this height, looking across over towards Anglesey and Puffin Island is just fabulous.
The cache is not in the structure of the wall!
From this point take the track that leads down and at N53 13.801 W004 01.014 there is a footpath on your right that leads back down to the road. This is a steep and slippery path, please take care.
Congratulations to Gribin II for being FTF on 12/09/2010
Coedydd Aber National Nature Reserve
Coedydd Aber nature reserve is one of our family’s most favourite places. The walk will take you in an area of scenic beauty which leads to a spectacular waterfall in the foothills of Y Carneddau. You will see a variety of habitats and a diversity of species of woodland and of open farmland and scrub. The woodland is home to a range of birds, who feed on the grounds and through the woodland and the nearby coniferous forest. There are many historic and archaeological monuments, including round and long huts, cairns, a medieval hafod and an iron age hill fort testifying to the long history of human occupation. A big thank you to the Warden and the Countryside Council for Wales for allowing me to place these caches here. Please be particularly careful whilst looking for the caches not to disturb this precious landscape
The Walk
The Aber Falls series of Geocaches 1 - 11 have been arranged to take you on a circular route. It is approximately 4 miles, if completing the full circuit, and so will take at least a couple of hours to complete. The area is truly spectacular, I recommend making the most of your visit, pick a nice sunny day and bring a picnic, you won't regret it! The first part of the walk from the recommended parking to the falls is on a good track with a steady, not too steep climb. From the main waterfall is a regular footpath / track, rising again steadily, with the last part back down to the road a steep descent. Make sure you're suitably equipped and plan accordingly. There are many websites about walking in this area if you require further information before embarking on this mission.
