A Quiet Rest - GC1BZ5R

Second of the day whilst out with sarahjones65, CathyMay and RiggyRob. We parked in the car park in front of the beach and headed up the promenade to the start of the coastal footpath where we were soon treading familiar ground.

We remembered having been here a few years ago when the kids were younger one of them threw a frisbee over a wall and into some long vegetation - Sarah hopped over the wall and eventually managed to retrieve it along with a few scratches.

The coastal footpath gave us superb views over Cemaes Bay and the coastline and the sea breeze ruffled our hair in the late afternoon sunlight. If we'd followed the GPSr literally we'd have ended up walking off the plateau and over a steep edge down to the rocks below, so we took a route around this to get down to GZ.

There were a bewildering amount of places that matched the description and hint and after looking in many of them we nearly gave up. Then I put my brain into gear and decided that no-one would put a cache anywhere near where the sea could reach it - I started looking a little higher up and shortly I'd found it.

We signed the log and as I replaced the cache I noticed that there was something else in the cache hole - a small stone box with a hinged lid like a jewellry box. We had a quick look and then replaced it before heading back for the car. A great place!
