Geocache Description:

*** NEWSFLASH – OWING TO THE EXTREME WEATHER THE LOCATION HAS BEEN CHANGED TO MOEL Y GAER ***

*** SAME TIME TO MEET, BUT SEE NEW PARKING CO-ORDINATES BELOW. ***

How do you fancy seeing a sunrise on Moel Y Gaer

Meet up at the PARKING co-ordinates (see waypoint below) at 7.45am for a short steady walk up Moel Y Gaer in plenty of time to watch the sunrise.

Sunrise

The December solstice will occur at 23:38 (or 11.38pm) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on December 21, 2010. It is also known as the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere due to the seasonal differences. Its date varies from December 20 to December 23 depending on the year in the Gregorian calendar.
