Back into Wales.....

but not the part we really wanted. After our lovely day out at Barmouth last week Thelma & I arranged to go back and do some geocaching around the lakes on Cader Idirs - however the weather beat us, but as we had the day free we ventured just over the border to Wrexham and the Erdigg Estate run by the National Trust. Then onto the Pontcysyllte aquaduct - the underneath of which here is my photo of the day.







The house and immediate gardens of Erdigg are closed until March but the park is open and that's where some new caches have been laid. We found 7 caches on the estate but 2 evaded us! We could see the house but only through these fine gates. We did a cache here at the dovecote - there were lots of lovely white doves on it - but when I came back to take a photo of it they had all flown away.

After a picnic lunch we drove to Trevor and did the cache on the Pontcysyllte aquaduct. I found it quite easily - having looked for over an hour unsuccessfully in the summer with Steven.

This is the view over to the Chirk viaduct from the aquaduct.
