Morgan and I had a lovely day in the Moelwyn Mountains\u00a0on Thursday. We had our sights on the final feeder cache for the Gwyddno Mountain Challenge geocache. We needed to find it in order to get the final questions that would give us the last few numbers of the coordinates for the final cache. So, having planned a route through the Moelwyn Mountains above Tanygrisiau that took us to a few other geocaches as well, we set off in the morning into the grey, gloomy weather of North Wales.<\/p>\n

It rained all the way there, but we did stop off briefly for a quick cache and dash along the A496 en route to Tanygrisiau.\u00a0Once the driving was done\u00a0we put on our waterproof coats and trousers, found another quick cache near the reservoir, got our kit together and started off on our walk.<\/p>\n

Before long we reached the bottom of the incline, complete with ‘Danger’ sign. Needless to say that was exactly the way we were heading. Yes, it is as steep as it looks.<\/p>\n

Morgan was quite looking forward to ‘The Tunnel’ though so we made good progress getting ever higher as we went and stopping every now and then to admire the views of Tanygrisiau below us and off towards Trawsfynydd in the distance.<\/p>\n

We made it to the tunnel where we had to use our hands a little to scramble up over the slippery rocks. At least it wasn’t raining\u00a0in here though.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
