Geocache Description:

This cache is just off the highway overlooking Pedhoulas in the Troodos region.

The cache is fairly easy to find, but does require scrambling up and down some short but steep and loose peaks. If you have very young children you may find it unsuitable.

You can park the car easily at N34 58.050 E32 50.969. Get out of the car and look for the the “Y” pine. Just to the right of this there is a very faint track going up and to the left (not down and to the right). Follow your GPS over the next couple of peaks (not far don't worry) enjoying the nice photogenic view of Pedhoulas.

It's not at all overgrown, but the surface is loose so wear sensible shoes and be careful. You're at about 1300 meters so you may puff and pant a little if you're not used to the altitude.

As always in Cyprus be aware of snakes when looking under rocks, although it is very unlikely at this altitude.

In the winter there may be a covering of snow.

Now here's our confession, we forgot to leave a pencil in the cache. There is a biro and a log book, but with the summer heat and the winter cold there's no guarantee that it will work. We did leave a pencil sharpener though. If a very kind hearted Geocacher could leave a pencil I would be eternally grateful.
