Porth Swtan (Church Bay) - GC1BZ68

We were out today with our largest caching crew ever (see previous post) trying to do five caches in this area. Unfortunately this cache proved to be the second and last of the day due to driving rain stopping play. The first we did was the fabulous 'Moe's Tavern' a little further up the coast and we decided to finish on this one because it seemed very close to a parking area.

At first we walked down to the beach before very quickly realising the cache was at the top of the cliff. Nevermind, we had a great walk along the beach, inspecting a few caves and admiring the waves crashing over the rocks in spite of the rain. Then, back up to the hedge-lined coastal footpath along the top of the cliff.

After reading the descripton and hint clue properly this time, we quickly found the cache and Sarah extracted it with her new bright green caching gloves (husbands are so practical and considerate when it comes to birthday presents, aren't they?). She did the admin whilst the others sheltered her from the rain and I took a photo - then we dashed back to the cars.

At the car park we noticed the lovely cottage called Swtan with a thatched roof which was mentioned in the cache description. But we were too wet to explore further, so we'll probably come back in better weather, have a meal at the Lobster Pot restaurant and visit Swtan then. Another great place!
