Geocache Description:


Many thanks to the National Trust for giving permission for this cache to be placed.
This cache forms part of the “Remote Wales” series. It is a series that is designed to take the cacher off the beaten track. On many of the walks involved, you will be the only person along that track that day or even week or month. Many of the walks are long and physically demanding. I am not expecting a lot of visitors!
Each string of caches is grouped around a bonus cache, the coordinates of which you get from finding the traditional cache in the string . The Bonus Caches in turn carry a code for a final bonus cache, designed to draw the whole series together. The idea for this series draws heavily on other series of hill-walking caches. Thanks are due to: Morgs4mountains, SidAndBob, martlakes, Ezitis and muddypuddles. Elements of their series have been incorporated into this one.
Although the caches are all small, all are placed for an easy find. The point of these caches is to take you on a voyage of discovery with an uncomplicated find at the end of the walk. Boulder fields are avoided if possible. I firmly believe that the effort and time you will have put in to reach ground zero should, as near as possible, guarantee a find. As these caches are all in remote hill areas, please take all the necessary precautions, equipment and care. And then enjoy the caches.
The Irfon series involves a circular walk of some 7 kilometres. Carreg yr Adar should be done first, then Craig Gwesyn and the bonus last of all. If you feel energetic, you might extend the circle to take in the (relatively!) nearby Drygarn Where?????? cache.
