Porthdafarch Heights - GC1FE2D

This was the fourth find of the day whilst out on Anglesey with sarahjones65, RiggyRob and CathyMay, but we left the sprogs in the car whilst we did this one. We'd been to thisw lovely beach before but never really noticed the footpath and as we made our way to it there was a group of geology students taking part in a fieldtrip down on the foreshore. They were drawing a rock formation, probably an example of folding or faulting in these highly metamorphised ancient rocks. Ah, it took me back to my university days when, believe it or not, I actually studied Geology and Geography. That was some 30 years ago and I can't remember too much geology now as I made a career move into ICT.

We found the cache quite easily on the footpath, and were very lucky that we weren't seen from the nearby caravan site which overlooks the cache location - or so we thought! After we had replaced the cache and were walking back we were sure we noticed a little pair of beady eyes staring out from one of the caravans. Oh well, it was too late now - perhaps he'd seen what we doing, perhaps not. A great place but we couldn't linger long, so many caches and so little time you know ....
