With great views over Tryfan and the Ogwen valley, the Llyn was one rather large iceberg when we visited in late March 2016. The sun was out and the lake looked resplendent. I hope that your visit will be greeted with the same weather that we had!
Some history of New Hall School:
The school was founded in Liege in Belgium by Susan Hawley in 1642 and moved to its current site in Boreham, Chelmsford in 1799, in the former Palace of Beaulieu, acquired and greatly expanded by king Henry VIII and was later home to Mary Tudor.
2016 marks the first Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition in the school's history.
On to the cache:
You can reach Llyn Caseg Fraith from a number of directions, the easiest of which is probably the miner's track from the south at Pen-y-Gwryd but it can also be reached by hiking along the eastern side of Tryfan (either along the Heather Terrace or the lower paths), from Idwal Cottage Youth Hostel past Llyn Bochlwyd from the northwest, or even over the Glyders from the west.
Needless to say, care and caution must be exercised at all times - tell someone where you are going and ensure that you are fully prepared when walking in this area as conditions could change at the drop of a hat. Good luck!
