PLEASE STICK TO THE PUBLIC FOOTPATH, VIA THE GATE, AFTER THIS CACHE! YOU WILL BE TEMPTED TO CUT THROUGH THE FIELDS TO MAKE SHORT WORK OF YOUR PATH TO THE FAIRY TREE, BUT THIS WOULD BE ACROSS PRIVATE LAND. THE PUBLIC FOOTPATH IS SIGN POSTED AS YOU GO; IT'S ABOUT 380 METRES FROM HERE TO THE FAIRY TREE BY THAT ROUTE
LAUGHARNE COUNTRYSIDE ADVENTURE DETAILS:
A 5KM trip through Laugharne countryside, starting at St. Martin's Church and followed by a steep climb through St. Martin's Wood. At the peak of the woods you will trek through some gorgeous scenic countryside (take a camera!) around the back of Laugharne town, and then you will descend towards the estuary. After this you will journey through some peaceful woodland hugging the estuary border, and you will emerge at the Dylan Thomas writing shed with some very scenic views. Finally you will visit the estuary itself at Laugharne waterfront, and then you will take the final leg through Laugharne town, past the famous Browns Hotel, and back to where you started.
Please note that you will require stout footwear to complete the entire series. It involves some very steep climbs and can be wet/slippery underfoot. It is suitable for older children, but little ones would struggle. Also note that the countryside leg of the walk can be a little bit challenging, especially if there is a wet summer. The trek makes use of public footpaths, but the brambles and foliage are very enthusiastic! I complete this walk myself every now and then, and I try to keep it clear. But be prepared to potentially do some clearing of your own!
Hint: FANTASTIC blackberry picking, in season.

A Sheep Called Hamilton
You have just been introduced to some fantastic Laugharne countryside overlooking the estuary, I hope you brought your camera. While we're on the subject of cameras, I thought I'd mention the legendary Hamilton the racing sheep - he is known to frequent these parts from time to time. If your camera has a fast enough shutter speed, you just might catch a snap of him! Zooom!
This cache is a small magnetic slide container. It has room for a log only.
Good luck!
CONGRATULATIONS to PlasmaWave on being the first to find on the very day that the series was published. The caches were retrieved by PlasmaWave in extremely difficult weather conditions! We're having a soggy summer.
