Thelma & I popped into Wales for some Geocaching today. We did 6 caches and found them all.
The first 5 took us to Kerry, in Powis - a beautiful village which I have never visited before but will definitely return to. Every where was very well maintained and this gorgeous old church had the most gentle church bells ever heard.
The 6th took us to Montgomery, again never been to before but was gorgeous so will go back.
We did not have chance to explore the town itself but it appears that this central square is the hub of it.
Its hard to believe that this lovely house on the hill was once Montgomery gaol!
All 6 Geocaches were placed by Denise Revell, who I knew many moons ago and they were all very good.
The first 4 were a collection over Pennarron Hill which overlooks Kerry itself. It was a brisk & strenuous stroll but finished up next to a peaceful pond overlooking the Kerry Vale.

Second find - Bridge Near The Mule (Penarron Plod-Part 2) GC1AK3Q - we took a short cut (following GPS) - which involved a lot of climbing over fallen trees!
third find - Halfway There? (Penarron Plod - Part 3) GC1AK41
Fourth find - Pool With No Name (Penarron Plod - Part 4) GC1AK4C
Number 5 - Treasure Of The Kerrybean GC182TR - was just outside the village and was hidden in a tree. It was a huge container yet somehow some people have not been able to find it - goodness knows how - it was practically shouting "here I am" at you!
The final one in Montgomery - War Memorial (Montgomery) GC1BB21 -was up at the War memorial on the top of a very tall hill which afforded beautiful views all around but I could not really enjoy them as a bull lives in the field and other geocachers have met and photographed him and he is huge, Not being an animal lover I was petrified that he was going to come & chase us, so rushed the cache so I could get back behind the gate and back to safety!
To round the evening off beautifully we found a chip shop open in Montgomery at 9.30 at night on a Sunday evening, so partook of some lovely fish & chips
