Geocache Description:

A great walk up a valley in the Snowdon national park. The walk follows the route of a disused mine workings so there are abandoned industrial equipment to have a look at on the way up. The path follows a stream so there is a place you can stop for a dip if you are brave enough. The path is good as its maintained by the National Trust. There are stunning views down the valley and out to the coast at Porthmadog.


This is a fairly easy cache to get to although at the end there is a scramble up the mine workings. Its also a great insight into the old mining industry that took place in the area. The cache is just above the old entrance to the mineshaft. Beware there is a very deep drop by the cache, it is fenced off, but children and dogs should be supervised. I bet you can't resist throwing a rock in the shaft though! The cache is in a camouflaged box. First to find gets to set off a bug on its travels.
