The Great NWB Adventure trail: Llangollen Railway Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired/replaced it, I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Geocache Description:

This cache is part of 'The Great North Wales Borderlands Adventure Trail in which 13 caches have been hidden near to popular attractions in North Wales. Due to the busy area, this cache is hidden away from the main highstreet although the station is still in sight! Across from railway in between houses on the right and a local shop is a public footpath. Walk up the public footpath up towards the canal. Off the footpath is some grass and tree stumps- cache is here.

Off the footpath are a series of tree stumps up a slight hill which you'll have to scramble up. The stumps/ dead trees are dotted along a fence which lines the canal.
Once of these stumps houses the geocache itself which has been placed inside. There are three stumps to search.
The cache itself is a small tupperware box. Inside is a laminated welcome note, map showing the other 12 locations, a disposable camera, log book and certificates. There are also hidden Golden Tickets in 5 of the 13 caches, those Geocachers that find the Golden Tickets will win Gelert Rucksacks!

We are also giving away a Weekend Getaway in North Wales; for you chance to win this take a photo of yourself or family at the cache location and upload it to www.northwalesgeocachetrail.co.uk and you will be entered into the competition. We'll be posting clues as to where to find the caches and Golden Tickets on the NWB Facebook and Twitter pages over the next month. Check the website for more info and good luck!

The Llangollen Railwayis a volunteer-run preserved railway in Denbighshire, Wales, which operates between Llangollen and Carrog; at 7.5 miles (12.1 km) long. Operates daily in Summer as well as weekends throughout the Winter months using a wide variety of steam and diesel locomotives. Train rides incur a fee but free to look around. Nice tea shop and gift shop on site. Look out for Thomas the Tank Engine who passes through!
