Geocache Description:

I thought I would join in with the fun and place a pictoral puzzle cache of my own.
Loosely(!) based on MM10 of the Merthyr Marathon Series by W&M this should prove slightly challenging for two reasons:

1. The puzzle is hard
2. Visiting the pubs and not staying sober will make the puzzle harder

Container is a small Plastic cliplock box, initially containing FTF cache starter TB and a few swaps. Please bring your own pen.
Please read the Description of The TB here before you take it.

EXAMINE THE PHOTOS AND MATCH THEM TO THE CLUES BELOW. THEY ARE NOT IN ORDER.

All the photos were taken in one day and they are of parts or signs of pubs and clubs in and around Aberdare.
