Ynys Môn aka Anglesey - Part 2

25/08/2010

Two Caches along Benllech Beach today whilst the family sat in the sun and played on the beach. Yes its not all Geocaching whilst off on holiday ;) . Benllech Beach is one of the best beaches in Anglesey and is very popular so get there early to bag a decent pitch.

GC1V3RA – Benllech Bonanza
This was a hard cache to find and possibly a bit in the dangerous side if your not careful. Hidden is a previous rock slide from some time ago. The GPS was bouncing all over the place and would not settle which did not help. The cache was a few metres away from the final zero'd co-ordinates. Spent about 30 mins looking for this one.

GC26EWC – Benllech Berries
There are lots of ruins of small huts/buildings along the beach and the cache is near to one of these. Easy to get to via the coastal path or along the beach.

GC1WB9R – Dingle Dangle Benllech
Back to give this cache another go. No muggles about this time so easier to find without having to stealth search. Sometimes some of these are so obvious that you cant see them for looking. A good spot by the wife who found it straight away.


GC1Z6DT – Royal Charter Church
Another good find from the wife who found it almost straight away. A 35mm film canister with the usual log and pencil.


GC1Z6A6 – Literary Brothers Cache
A drive up the road to the last cache of the day. This cache was just off the road on a circular route near to a monument. Small clip lock box with some swaps in.

Final cache of the holiday as we left Anglesey to head home.

GCFF46 – Between the Bridges
Nice to see a big cache and a great hiding spot too. Found a “2008 Wisconsin Geocoin” (Shape of a cow) which wasn't logged in the cache, so dipped it in and out to log its latest mileage.

Lauched the "Maritime Cannon" Travel Bug in this cache, our third and final TB (6th in total). Visited the Church Island. A woman was putting fresh flowers into the small church and invited us in for a look. Nice views of both the bridges from here. Recommend going up to the war memorial monument as you get a better view from up top. A great place to spot birds across the estuary and mud flats. Saw lots of waders and gulls. This is a great example of a cache leading you to a place you wouldnt have normally found.
