Geocache Description:

Please note:- GZ is on the left hand side of the river looking up towards the waterfalls...not as small map shows!
NOT to be done at night!
REMEMBER to bring a 1st or 2nd Class POSTAGE STAMP if you want to send a postcard!
The POSTCARDS ARE NOT to be used just as SWOPS!!
Parking available on the junction.
Please take all necessary precautions when near the road and river.

Perhaps you could say this is a new variation of 'letterboxing' or a version of the QSL cards as used by Amateur Radio enthusiasts. Or as Preseli has just mentioned in his log (April 14)... Postcrossing ... see http://www.postcrossing.com
This unique cache gives you the opportunity to write on a postcard...'Wish you were here!' and then send it from what must be one of the remotest post boxes in the country!
It must also be one of the most photographed phone and post boxes in the country too, as so many people stop to take photos of them!
First To Find will find their postcard already stamped!
It would be nice to see photos of you posting your card and say where they have been sent, so we can see who's travels the most distance!

We will have a 'Roll of Honour' for the top 5 travellers on the cache page.

GZ is a nice place to have a picnic on a sunny day as there is a beautiful waterfall near the cache.

On the south side of the road you can see the remains of an old settlement with the ruins of the old buildings and enclosure walls.
