The ladybird caches

A series of 19 caches around the beautiful villages of Gwernaffield and Pantymwyn set as a joint effort between Petchys, Ywaunhillers and The_peacocks.

Look for the ladybirds – they may even help you. Many of the caches ended up having links to songs – this didn't start intentionally but it just ended up that way!

Many can be done individually and even a few as drive-bys, but we hope you enjoy a nice walk of around 2-3 hours (depending on how long you spend finding the caches!). Parking can be found in many locations, but we recommend you park and start by the park in the village of Gwernaffield. That way, you should start with number 1.

The name of this one refers to the black-thorn bushes around here – at the time of placing this cache they were full of sloes which should give us some nice sloe gin in a couple of months time. Recipe:
1 lb of sloes
1 bottle of gin
100g sugar
Prick the sloes with a needle, put the ingredients in a jar, seal it up and shake regularly (every few days) for 2-3 months
