Geocache Description:

The Princess and the Frog

PLEASE NOTE - DO LOOK OUT FOR THE MAN IN THE Land Rover, he said
"he is the shoot organiser, and doesn't like GEOCACHERS"

PLEASE KEEP TO PERMISSIVE PATHS, thank you
Llyn Helyg is a man-made (18th century) lake which is approximately one kilometre in length and is home to the rare aquatic fern Pillwort and Australian swamp stonecrop.
During the Second World War Llyn Helyg was used for amphibious vehicle training and a slipway was constructed at the north-eastern edge of the lake. The lake is shallow, maximum depth about 1.6 metres, and is man-made having been created by the Mostyn Estate sometime in the 1700s. The lake is now used by Holywell Angling Club who own the fishing rights.
Llyn Helyg is surrounded by woodland.

To find this cache, park near the Tab cache (see coordinates) enter the woods via the footpath, which may be muddy following rainfall, and walk about 464' to a Mostyn Estates' public footpath sign (see waypoint), then turn right.
Walk passed the Wild Boar cache - pick it up now or on on return walk.
You will come to a crossroads. This is GZ.
Look left and you will see the lake. If there are any muggles about, ask them if it is ok to go and look at the lake if you want to. It is an impressive view of the lake from here.
Then you have to back-track to the other caches or your car!!
Please keep to the permissive footpaths and not cut throught the other paths in the woods, thanks. ™
