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]

Geocache Description:

A Cache &; Dash!

In the village of Staylittle/Penfforddlâs, set above the wonderful Llyn Clywedog and below the Trannon Moors.

Easy find for a traveller passing between North and South Wales.

A nano placed close to the road in the centre of the village.

One of the important historical routes through Montgomeryshire passed through the area. It is thought that the Roman road from Caersws to a nearby Roman fortlet passed through what is now the village. It also lay on the drovers' road - later to become a turnpike - between Machynlleth and Llanidloes. Inns and blacksmiths' forges were often established along such routes and it is said that Staylittle village derives its name from such an inn, the Stay-a-little Inn.

One local legend has it that the two blacksmith brothers working in the smithy attached to the inn were able to shoe horses so quickly that travellers only had to 'stay-a-little' before being able to continue on their journey and it was thus that the inn, and subsequently the village, acquired its name.


The village has an Outdoor Centre, a friendly local post office and the old Board School from 1874 now forms part of the outdoor centre alongside the old Baptist Church and Community Centre.

With great views of Plynlimon we hope you will Stay - a - little!
