University Gardens - GC1KQPT

This was the first of four caches whilst out in Bangor with sarahjones65, CathyMay, FirstIrishAngel and Badger. We parked on College Road to avoid the steep climb up to University Gardens and approached the old University building from the rear.

What a fantastic old building this is - I call it Hogwarts because the Harry Potter films were just becoming popular when I first saw it and it looks quite like it when viewed from the main road down below.

We went down the steps into the gardens and were heading down a second set of steps which climb the steep slopes back up to the university before realising this was the wrong direction. So we retraced our steps (no pun intended) back to the top and along a little path. Soon the proximity alarm on the GPSr sounded and Cathy quickly spotted the cache container hidden close a wall.

After signing the log we all went back up to the terrace in front of the old University building and spent a few minutes enjoying the superb view from this high vantage point towards
Bangor Cathedral and over the town before moving on to the next cache near the Roman Fort.
