Zzzzzzzzz at Hensol (Bonus) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

C.A.K.E. Crusaders: Sadly after 5 years it is time to put this series to bed - I simply do not have time to keep it maintained to a standard that I am happy with or that cachers deserve.

Thanks to all the cachers who have found one or more of the series for their logs (I have read every one over the years), kind comments and particularly fave points.

And a final mention to the 175 cachers who did do the whole series and do it as intended finding the final bonus as well. Congrats to you all.

Geocache Description:

This is the final in a series of 26 caches (one for each letter of the alphabet) which completes a circular walk of around 5 miles in the Hensol Forest and Hensol Park area of the Vale of Glamorgan.  The walk uses forest tracks, quiet lanes and public footpaths with the terrain being relatively easy although in a couple of places it can get quite boggy after wet weather.


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE PUBLISHED COORDINATES

To find the cache you will have to collect the code numbers written inside the lids (and on the back of the log books/strips) within 6 of the caches that make up the "at Hensol" circuit.  The cache can be located at the following coordinates.

N 51° 28.(ABC)-24 , W 003° 23.(DEF)-22

The cache is a large tub placed within the Hensol Forest - difficulty rating is due to having to do the entire circuit to get the coordinates - The cache should be an easy find once at GZ.  The box is large and so can accommodate travel bugs and swaps.  These is a decent sized log book so please feel free to write a bit more than the usual date and signature in the log.  It would be great to build up collection of tales and stories about the series and caching in general.  There are also a couple of pens in the cache but please bring you own for the rest of the series.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE ORIGINAL CACHE HAVING BEEN STOLEN I HAVE HAD TO RELOCATE THIS BONUS CACHE LOCATION BY A SMALL AMOUNT. PLEASE USE THE NEW CALCULATION ABOVE TO FIND THE FINAL CACHE.

Please ensure the cache is well hidden when it is replaced.

The cache is placed with kind permission of the Forestry Commission Wales.
