Geocache Description:


Please note that Mobile Phone coverage is very poor in this area so you are advised to download the required information prior to your visit to allow for access when offline.

This geocache has been placed with the kind permission of the RSPB.

5th cache in a series of 6 on a circular route approx 3km (1.75 miles) - Allow up to 2 hours to complete the route.

The crags on the left where the trail begins are called Allt Y Gribin. There are magnificent views of the surrounding hills on the walk up to the waterfall and on the way back down.

Note As sheep and lambs roam freely in the area please keep dogs on a lead.

About the Cache

Continue the route from RC06 along the obvious, relatively flat track down hill to a gate.

The cache contains a log, pencil, and a few small items of swag.  The container is suitable for larger travel bugs or coins and other items of swag and while a pencil has been provided you would be wise to bring your own pen.

Long Tailed Tit 

Long Tailed Tits have an unmistakable ‘ball and stick’ shape, both perched and in flight. Adults are black, white and pale pink; juveniles have dark cheeks, no pink and shorter tails. Roving bands of these tits move with agility through trees and bushes, crossing gaps in single file and calling carelessly as they go.

 
These birds have been seen on the Lake Vrynwy RSPB reserve so as you continue along the route back towards your car you might just get to see a few. 
 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  • Due to the nature of the work undertaken by the RSPB, it may at times [such as during the breeding season] become necessary to temporarily disable this cache and we would ask that you respect our decision to do this.
  • Permission has been granted to place geocaches on the strict understanding that the RSPB nature trails are open to walkers only. Unauthorised vehicular and cycle access to these trails is strictly prohibited and any failure to comply with these conditions could result in prosecution and/or the removal of all the geocaches from the reserve.
