Sunday continues

Left off on previous post at No.4 I think so:

No. 5 1044; (GC133G7) Cilcain Village Vexation. by Team Marzipan – Lovely village which when I got there I realised I had walked from back in 2001 with my dad and Dave Tait, on that occasion we walked up onto the Clwyd hills ridge and along the Offa’s dike path, great walk and views.
This time here to find a cache and I did, it was a fake rock that was coloured the same as the stones in the wall that it was hidden in.

No. 6 1045;(GC140K5) GET OUT OF JAIL FREE - No.1 Jailbreak by Happy Landins and Team Marzipan – finally onto the series we had come out to do, pulled into the large car park as to obtain the combination for the first padlock you had to count windows and drainpipes on the back of the Ruthin Gaol building,
As we parked, away from a lone man in a silver car so as not to disturb his Sunday afternoon, and paid and displayed, only 20p for an hour, and started counting the lone man came over it was the west viewers and he was waiting for the other members of the team to return from finding the cache, he’d stayed to save on the P&D charge, Skinflint, He he.
We counted windows got the combination and headed across the river to another park and spotted Horrid Henry and Mrs west viewer lurking under the trees by an ivy covered wall, cache was soon found and I think we were unobserved by the kids playing on the half constructed skateboard ramps nearby, the combination worked on the lunch box briefcase and inside was a laminated map with the clue number and the combination to get into cache no. 2, we noted both and signed the log and replaced the cache and headed off to the car.

No.7 1046; (GC140KD) GET OUT OF JAIL FREE - No.2 Lady Bagot by Happy Landins and Team Marzipan – made a mess of this one, first Mrs bargee turned out of the car park and headed up the wrong road heading for betws-y-coed, so u turn no.1, then I directed up a side road into a farm as the sat nav was wrong it showed a road where there was none, uturn no.2, then turned up next side road and everything hunky dory, even saw a Buzzard sitting on top of a telegraph pole above us, but we could only get to within .3miles of the cache and there was no parking place, finally read the cache page and entered the parking cords, or so I thought, carried on up thius narrow lane passing through a tiny village called Bontuchel, probably wouldn’t find it again. Followed the arrow back down the other side of the valley got to within 120’ of the cords and no parking space, checked coords and I’d entered it wrongly, this led to a few heated words between Mrs Bargee and myself, turns out the parking was just off the main road.
Parked up and the west viewers car was still there, a mile to the cache so we expected to pass them quite quickly but we didn’t, again I didn’t read the cache page so missed the turning it advised and we carried on up a pleasant track in a deep wooded gorge alongside a river, the rock formations were brilliant and the river bed was running over the exposed rock in places like mini weirs,
Coords for this cache were way out and we met the west viewers just after they had found the cache, they topped to tell us where it was hidden as the cords were 70 yds out. They also took cassiedogs geocoin number,
The walk though was superb.
Collected the tb that the west viewers had left and by the time we arrived back at the car we were a little footsore, headed off to Denbigh for the next in the series but Mrs bargee had had enough so we decided to head home.
Caching wasn’t over though as we headed towards the coast and to Rhuddlan

No.8 1047;(GC116GE) Rhuddlan Village Vexation by Team Marzipan – quick find but not a great cache,hidden in one of the cats eyes in the old road

And finally no.9 1048;(GC13T1G) Trelogan Village Vexation by Team Marzipan trelogan village vexation – micro attached to a hub cap in a hedge, funny to find.

Off home as it starting pouring down and diverted to Hartford and the slow boat for a good Chinese. He he

Good day out and can’t wait to finish the get out of jail series, maybe next weekend?
