Geocache Description:


This is the final (Bonus) cache in a short series of caches around the wider parish of Mathern and takes in the walking route of my regular exercise during the Covid-19 lockdown so should take no longer than an hour on foot even with caches to find! The series is designed as a walking route (or on bike) in an anti-clockwise direction from the old coaching inn at Pwllmeyric [GC8RAK7] towards Willis Hill and GC1AED6 Out of Africa and back down via Hayesgate. There is roadside parking on the road into Mathern or the nearby local Garden Centre affords safe parking.  

To derive the final co-ordinates you need to collect information from the following caches:

  • GC8RAK7 Pwllmeyric Coaching Inn
  • GC8RAKN Celtic Trail 1
  • GC8RAQJ Celtic Trail 2
  • GC8RCAK Celtic Trail 3: Runston Outskirts
  • GC8RAR3 Celtic Trail 4
  • GC8RARC Celtic Trail 5
  • GC96VK8 Celtic Trail 6
  • GC96VBK Hayesgate

Final Co-ordinates:

N 51 (H-F)(A+G+I).(H-C)(G)(C+(F-E))

W  2 (E-I)(B-D).(C-(I+A))(G+A)D

If you have enjoyed this mini-series then you can extend your experience by picking up the Mathern (Village) Trail starting at GC8M78P Mathern War Memorial.
