31/05/11 - Stacked in the South

GC23EM8 – A5 Drive By - Showground

Found on our way to Holyhead. Took a little bit of searching, but eventually found it. Signed the log and replaced. We had missed this one on our last visit to Anglesey so was good to get it this time

GC2PNZQ - Porth View

We parked up at a layby near to the cache and walked round the coastal path to the next bay. Yes would have been quicker on the road but it was scenic and there wasnt really any parking at this bay. Nice hide. Took the travel jeep TB.

GC1ZJA2 – Bwgan 2

Walked along from GC2PNQ – Porth View and turned right along a path with houses on the left and a Golf Course on the right. Found the cache near to the style at the end of the path.

GC1ZJA5 – Bwgan 3

Drove round to this cache which is next to Bwgan Rock which is known locally for its spooky stories about ghosts and highwaymen. Glad I visited during the daylight.

GC2TX7K – The Mill

Another drive by caching on this one. Nice quick hide near to a telegraph pole.

GC1FMVW – Cybi 1

Parked up near to the footpath to Cybi 2, and walked down to the path for Cybi 1. We climbed the style and followed the GPS to the cache. We were guided by the paths through the Gorse/Broom eventually finding the right spot. We then looked around the wrong boulders, before finding the right one. Located the cache, signed the log and replaced. Took the co-ordinates to the cache that this one leads to.

GC1FMW6 – Cybi 2

We walked back to the car from Cybi 1 and then down the other footpath to Cybi 2. This turns out to be a long walk as the path goes round in a horseshoe shape to the other side of the ridge. We did consider finding a shorter cut, but with the gorse/broom about thought better of it. At some points along the path it was almost like being in a maze with the gorse/broom well at head height and not able to see over the top. We reached the other side when one of the party lost a shoe in the mud (one bit is fairly muddy) so after fishing it out as it was a good 6” down in the mud (and the mud smells!!) we carried on, only for another member of the party to go and do the same thing, only this time they had a pair of walking sandals (no socks). Urghh!!!! After much rolling about and laughing we found the cache and got the second co-ordinates.

GC1FMWM – South Stack

We had collected the co-ordinates from Cybi 1 and Cybi 2 and headed to South Stack to find the cache. After completing the tasks in the description and calculating the final co-ordinates we made an attempt at the cache, but were hampered by many muggles so gave up. We will do this one next time we come to Anglesey.

Did meet some other Geocachers whilst at South Stack (Nigel/Liz)

GC2DMYJ – South Stacked

Last cache of the day. Nice easy find on the way back to the car after visiting South Stack and the RSBP.
