Situated just off a well used path that follows the River Dyfi, the cache can be found on a bank above a railway line, hidden in a hollow at the base of a birch tree. Look for a sawn trunk that protrudes horizontally from the bank just below the path; the cache is nearby.
It is possible to walk to this cache from the Millenium footbridge over the River Dyfi, or from the bridle path at the end of Garth Road in Machynlleth. The path parallels the Cambrian Line which runs from Shrewsbury to Machynlleth where it splits into two branches; the southern branch going to Aberystwyth and the northern branch continues to Pwllheli crossing the the River Mawddach via famous Barmouth Bridge. This part of the line was completed in 1863. Take care when crossing the railway via the access footpath.
