After yesterday's lazy day - today was a little more energetic - we went back into the mountains!! Steven & I visited some geocaches high up in remote Welsh mountains - thankfully the car took us most of the way and we walked along forest gravel roads. These caches were called Watery Wales 2 and were a series of caches to take you around some interesting water features in the mountains - lakes & waterfalls - they were gorgeous. We only managed 3 out of the 5 as there was quite a lot of walking involved.
To reach the first cache we had to walk through Forestry Commission land and the were piles and piles of logs everywhere.

The first cache was hidden next to this beautiful lake - thankfully in such remote places there is little chance of the caches getting muggled, so they are not too difficult to find.

There was not a cloud in the sky so the blue sky was reflected in the lakes making them a gorgeous blue colour.

This second cache was hidden on the banks of this lake - Steven wished it was not so remote as it would have been perfect for kayaking on - but he would have had to carry his kayak for about 5 miles to reach this spot!!

We sat and admired the mountains whilst tucking into biscuits and drinks.



This was the final cache and after a few wrong turns we eventually got to the right spot. However it was rather scary as it was on the edge of a cliff - looking down at a waterfall - we did the necessary photos and then beat a hasty retreat as I was scared - given my recent run of mishaps - one of us was going to topple over the edge. The views over the valley were gorgeous though.

Lovely set of photos, wonderful place!
Looks beautiful. I especially like your first log shot. Not sure why but I get motion sickness looking at the second one...how weird is that!?! LOL
Beautiful photos - as always! The scenery is spectacular.
