Geocache Description:


The Brecon & Monmouthshire Canal tow path caches. (BMC)
view
An expanding series of caches along the Brecon & Monmouthshire Canal tow path.

Unlike many canal path walks such as the East Midlands, Coventry - Hawkesbury Junction with its constant drone from the M6. This is one of the most scenic canal routes in Britain. It runs for over 30 miles through idyllic rural scenery of the National Park between Brecon and Pontypool and then continues to Newport.
This canal was built between 1797 and 1812 to link Brecon with Newport and the Severn Estuary.
The canal has been gradually restored by the British Waterways Board with support from the National Park and others since 1968 and  was reopened to the public in 1970.
Ive moved the cache after it was muggled and now no longer resides in a wooden hole but is still very near to the original coordinates,  26 paces nearer to Brecon from the hole and now at the base of a tree. You may notice that there appears to be a large box in the branches of this tree, presumably a nesting box? This box can be clearly seen if you are heading toward Brecon.

Lots of stealth may be required at certain times.  

This one

You are looking for
