Geocache Description:


**Golf Club Gambit** *solve the riddle below for exact co-ords*

In Wales, on a shore where waves embrace,
Lies a village of charm, a serene place.
Find the haven where the land meets the sea,
Abersoch’s hidden gem is where you'll be.

Latitude whispers a number in the fifties,
A place where adventures are nifties.
Combine this with a minus in the west,
A longitude clue for your treasure quest.

For the precise point, let’s narrow it down,
Where nature’s beauty wears a crown.
First, take the number where eight comes to lead,
Followed by two, zero—now we proceed.

Then six and oh, but we’re not quite done,
Nine and nine finish off this run.
For the west, start with four and then five,
Zero, two, six—now you arrive.

To this coordinate we unveil with glee,
52.*, -4.* is the key.
A spot so divine near Abersoch's shore,
A place you'll cherish-forevermore.-

By solving the clues in the riddle, you uncover the coordinates for the cache.

This geocache is conveniently located near the toilet block between the beach and the golf club car park in Abersoch. It’s an ideal spot for a quick find while enjoying the nearby amenities.

The area also features some picnic benches, making it a perfect place for a restful break or a lovely brunch after your geocaching adventure. Keep your eyes open and enjoy the beautiful surroundings as you hunt for this hidden treasure.

Happy caching and good luck!
