This cache is located close to a narrow, twisting single track road - known locally as Clegir - which runs from the outskirts of Llanrug to Llanberis and is high above Penllyn – (which means the head of the lake – in this instance Padarn Lake)
It's an old 35mm film container containing a log book and a pencil.
(Take a pen with you on this one.)
There are some great views here too – so take a camera with you!
You can do this as a long mainly uphill walk or as a drive and a short stroll from parking area.(less than 100 yards)
To get to the parking area turn up the hill at the crossroads on the A4086 near the Glyntwrog Inn (signposted Ceunant 1 ½ miles) Glyntwrog coordinates N53 . 08.774 W004 .10 . 890.
Travel up the hill to next crossroads and turn left (signposted Bryn Bras Castle and Brynteg). along a single track road. Just after a white bungalow on the right the road splits at a Y junction – take the road leading to the right signposted Brynteg. Drive onwards and upwards past the Brynteg Holiday Park until you reach the cattle grid. There are sheep in this area so any dogs should be kept on a lead at all times please.
I would suggest parking near the cattle grid at the top of the hill from the Llanrug end of the road and take a short walk to the cache. (Distance less than 100 yards) The rating is based on doing it this way and not the long uphill walk.
No stones or rocks to move maybe just a little bracken placed over the container.
From the same parking spot you may like to look for another cache of mine called See Penllyn from Clegir (Second View)
