The busy High Street in Bala contains more pubs and cafes than you can ever shake a stick at, so browse now if you wish to return at the end of your walk for refreshment. Meanwhile, close to this cache and high up on a wall, you will notice a plaque commemorating Thomas Charles, the founder of the British and Foreign Bible Society. It was to this address that a young girl called Mary Jones walked, barefoot, from her home on a farm over 20 miles away, because she heard that copies of the bible were available in Welsh. When she arrived, the bibles had all been handed out, but her determination prompted Thomas Charles to found the Bible Society, making bibles more widely available. Just before you leave the town, tucked away behind a hair-dressing salon and a car-spares shop, is Tommen y Bala, an ancient mound where once a castle stood. A fuller description of the series can be found in TUFTY 1.
