Mawddach Meander - Secret Houses Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:


You have almost reached Mawddach Cresent - 8 terraced houses built in 1902. These were the beginnings of a holiday resort (the brainchild of entrepreneur Solomon Andrews) but the development stopped as the surrounding land wasn't suitable. My husband tells stories of these houses being used for soldiers convalescing during WWII, but I am not sure about that!

You get great views of Barmouth bridge and the estuary from here and this should only be accessed on foot. There is an on-going enquiry as to whether the road in front of the houses is public or private and until the enquiry is resolved, please make sure you keep to the footpath which passes behing the houses and DO NOT USE the road which passes in front of them. 

Anyway, back to GZ. There is a random sign regarding 'No Parking' and the cache can be located to the right of this as you face it. You are looking for a clip-lid container on a grassy ledge. Two stones have been used to cover it.
