This is intended to be a quick find.
The cache is hidden underneath a boulder beside the #43 cyclepath and footpath.
This area has a rich industrial heritage linked with mining. Just to the south (downstream) of GZ is the location of the Beaufort Tin Works, a large complex that ran from 1860 to 1946.
In the 1870s Beaufort Bridge (the footbridge close to GZ) carried a tramway which linked a colliery to the east with a copper works across the river.
There is on-road parking just across the bridge from the cache on Beaufort Road (marked as a waypoint).
As with all of our caches, we ask that you don't spoil the surprise of what you find for future cachers. Please don't mention the unique aspect of the cache in your log, or upload a photo of it. But we really appreciate hearing about the rest of your visit and any other photos you may have taken.
You should find swag in the box.
Caching swag is intended to be swapped "like" for "like". So if you spot something you like, please replace it with something of equal, or higher, value if you can. However, we understand that sometimes you might not have swag with you, but spot something you'd like to have. In that case, please remember to pop something in another box another time to make up for it, so that we can all share the swag.
Please let us know if there is no swag in the box so that we can keep it topped up. We're happy to do that. But if you look at our caching profile, you'll see that we're actually just two disabled women (we like to pretend that we're a big setup). We don't have money to burn. Nor do most cachers. Please remember that and swap swag responsibly.
One last thing: If you haven't already, please check out the South Wales Geocachers group on Facebook. It's where we all natter online, get tips, moan, etc.
