For some time I have been looking for a location for this cache. Somewhere, to my mind anyway, that could have inspired Beethoven to compose his 6th Symphony, The Pastoral.
Whilst driving between caches in the Ogwen valley, I came across such a setting. The mellow mists of autumn were hovering over the rich golden colours of the surrounding trees and mountainsides. A group of fluffy white sheep were gently grazing on the lush emerald green grass whilst a babbling brook wound it’s way under a stone bridge.
The co-ordinates above are not for the cache itself but are for the car park at the Ogwen Warden Centre nearby.
To find the cache, you may have to complete some research first. All of the answers to the clues listed below give a number of a well-known symphony. The information is easily available on the internet.
A = Ludwig van Beethoven’s Choral Symphony
B = Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony
C = Gustav Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony
D = Franz Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony
E = Ludwig van Beethoven Eroica Symphony
F = Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.
Once the numbers have been found, transpose them into the co-ordinates below as follows:
N53.0A.BC W004.02.DEF.
