Geocache Description:

This is the last of a series of five caches that makes up ‘The Nostalgia Trail’ multi-cache. Each cache is hidden in a 35mm film container around the perimeter of a particular castle. Cache containers are clearly labeled and numbered. Caches may be done individually as ‘Traditional’ caches, but if all five are located and the code deciphered then the coordinates for a 6th ‘bonus’ cache will be revealed!

There should be a theme for all caches, particularly multi caches and ours is simple! When we were ‘wee’ and living on the Wirral in the 1970s, my parents would bundle their five offspring into the back of our Mini (yes, you read that correctly… seven of us in a Leyland Mini!!) and head off to a North Welsh castle with a picnic in the boot!

I shall explain, in brief, the ‘nostalgic’ significance of each castle below the list of castles in each cache descriptor.

There are five castles which make up ‘the Nostalgia Trail’. All are hidden within view of the respective fortress and because of the nature of the hides, ‘barriers’ are the main feature! The castles begin from north and cascade further south. They are in the following order:

#1 Flint
#2 Rhuddlan
#3 Denbigh
#4 Dolbadarn
#5 Beaumaris

Note down the letter under the cap of each 35mm canister lid. When you have discovered all five caches, use the Geocaching.com decoder and try to decipher the name of an ancient/mythological Celtic warrior/chieftain with these letters. Next you must substitute each letter for its corresponding number from the table below and place each in the gaps, in order of original spelling, to complete the ‘bonus’ location’s missing coordinates. A clue for the location of the 'Bonus Cache' is...

"You'd NEVER expect to see a tent peg up there!"…

Exercise caution, as there may be ‘Muggles everywhere’!!

A= 8 G= 4 N= 3

Beaumaris has to battle with Dolbadarn for my favourite number one castle of all time! We loved the fact that this castle had inner and outer walls that you could actually get inside, run and play hid & seek! A veritable joy for kids, and a great day out! A big castle with many of its features still visible and indeed accessible to this day! The moat and bridge in lend wonderfully to the aura of stepping back in time! So, Beaumaris for its physical fatures and Dolbadarn for it’s views and fabulous main tower/turret!? Humm.. you be the judge!

Another cache hidden form view in a similar way to the others but by a busy road, so consider an early or late dash for this ‘un!
