Geocache Description:

There was a rustle behind them from the hedge where last years leaves still clung thick and a stripey head peered forth.

"Come on, old Badger" shouted the Rat.

The badger trotted forward a pace or two; then grunted "H'm company," turned his back and disappeared.

"That's just the sort of fellow he is!" observed the disappointed Rat.  "Simply hates Society!"


This is a short series of child friendly caches based on The Wind In The Willows.  The idea came after reading the book with the little C.A.K.E.s and somehow this walk along the river bank and through the fields between Brysadler and Miskin seemed appropriate.

The walk starts from the A4222 in Brynsadler (see waypoint) can be done as a loop back along the roads through Miskin and Pontyclun or can be linked to the footpaths south of the M4 (the Miskin / Hensol road can be used to cross under the M4) that wind back through Talygan where both the Trinity's Walk and Talygarn Trail cache series can be both be done.

The cache itself is a coffee jar sized tub containinng a log sheet and pencil.  There is room for some swaps and travel bugs - would however suggest you bring your own writing implement for other caches in the series.  The footpath along the river bank can also get very muddy particularly after rain so is not suitable wheelchairs or pushchairs.  There are also several gates, stiles and a set of steps.  The cache can be accessed from the field so no need to cross the fence line.
