Geocache Description:

 

Nid yw'r cache at y cyfesurynnau uchod.  Bydd rhaid ateb ambell gwestiwn i ddarganfod y lleoliad terfynol.

A disguised cache not at the above co-ordinates.  You will have to answer some questions as you walk along the canal to gain the final co-ordinates.


Hanes byr am y Gamlas / A brief history of the canal

Cafodd y gamlas ei hadeiladu rhwng 1794 a 1798 er mwyn cludo glo rhwng Abercraf ac Abertawe.  Yn wreiddiol, roedd y gamlas yn 16 milltir o hyd gyda 36 loc dwr.   Roedd y gamlas yn dal i fod yn brysur iawn tan yn gynnar yn yr 20fed ganrif, gyda 400,00 tunnell o lo’n cael ei gario i Abertawe.

The canal was constructed between 1794 and 1798 for the transportation of coal between Abercraf and Swansea.  The canal was originally 16 miles long and had 36 locks along its length.  The canal remained busy into the early 20th Century carrying 400,000 tons of coal to Swansea.

Y Cache / The Cache

Cache sydd wedi cael ei guddio ar lwybr y gamlas Abertawe.  Mae’r lleoliad y cache yn cael ei darganfod try ateb gwahanol gwestiynau wrth i chi cerdded ar hyd y gamlas hyfryd yma.  Bydd y wâc yn cymryd tua 40 munud ond maen bosib i wneud taith cylch gan ddefnyddio’r llwybr beicio cenedlaethol 43.  Mae’r cyfesurynnau uchod am barcio a ddechrau’r taith.

A cache placed along the Swansea canal, the final location of the cache is achieved by answering some simple questions as you walk along this lovely stretch of canal.  The walk will take about 40 minutes but if you wish to do a circular root continue along the path and cross the road to pick up the number 43 cycle path that will lead you all the way back to the start.  The coordinates above are for parking and the start of the walk.
