Wow, what a great cache. FTF!!! reat hiding place; I walked around for about 20 mins before I found it (not helped by the GPS-scattering effect of the nearby trees!). TFTC.

Also, there was no pencil in the cache, so I’ve left one (cut down to a tiny size to fit, obviously).

Almost didn’t find this – looked in all of the obvious hiding places several times before we actually looked in the right one (hampered a little by the morning’s snowfall)! Log damp, but usable. TFTC.

Great little cache in a lovely area; quite a bit out of our way, but wanted some first-time cachers amongst us to see a non-micro cache (we’d previously been getting a few along the canal). Signed the log, left a toy robot, took nothing (cache contents were kinda sparse, so thought it needed a little extra in it). TFTH.

Took some friends, local to the area, out for their first caching expedition: this was our first find of the day. One of the new ‘uns was the first to spot where this little cache was hidden. Log completely soaked – added a little more paper from a scrapbook but this is only a short-term fix: needs some fresh rolls.

Changed my mind about waiting until the morning and set out just after midnight, as one can get away with when looking for urban caches. FTF! Found it without even pulling out my GPS, but did have to look inconspicuous for the passing muggles (although they looked too drunk to be paying attention anyway). Took the compass (thanks!), left a candle. TFTC!

I’ll go hunt for this tomorrow, probably (I’m very familiar with the area in question: it’s right next to where I work), but based on the map this cache is by the River Rheidol, not the Ystwyth, which (confusingly) is actually a little further South. Just thought you ought to know!

TFTH. Finding this cache was easier than hiding it again afterwards – I got a splinter! Left something almost-violet, took nothing.

I remember that when I was first a student at Aberystwyth I’d often come up here for a walk, and I never got out of breath then! ,Of course, we’re a decade later on, now, and – in my defence – I jogged most of the way up the steep, slippery slope from Trefechan beach to the plateau in a folly attempt to reach the cache before the sun set. More fool me! By the time my GPS said I was within even 200 metres it was near pitch-black, the little dwindling light in the sky dimmer by far than the streetlights of the town far below.

Found the cache without too much difficulty, but had quite a lot of difficulty extracting it: here’s a tip: if, like me, you have big hands, bring along a friend with smaller fingers. That’s all I’m saying (I had to manufacture some artificial “tiny fingers” out of sticks; yes, in the dark).

Anyway, in short – TFTC, it’s been years since I’ve been up here and I’m thankful for the excuse to have returmed. Now all I have to do is find my way down again without going over a cliff!!! (if you never see my log another cache, at least you have my last known coordinates)

UPDATE: made it down safely, now enjoying a (well-earned) pint of beer!
