Hercule's Gift - GC1V3R2

This was to be the last cache on Sarah and my short trip to Anglesey - we'd actually had a half-hearted go two days ago after a Wedding Anniversary meal in the nearby Chinese restaurant. We thought it would be an easy fnd as we know the Belgian Promenade quite well, but the failing light made searching too difficult.

From here you get a really good view of both of the two historic bridges which cross the Menai Straits.  The beautiful Menai Bridge which seems such a natural part of the landscape and the rescued Britannia Bridge which was took on a new form and function following a fire in the 1970's.  We'd seen both bridges close up doing some caches on our first day in Anglesey.
Today we found the cache location without too much trouble and I spent more time photographing a heron fishing on the banks of the Menai, some shelduck and a solitary oystercatcher on the Menai mudflats than I did actually caching. A great place which is always worth a visit, especially if you walk to the little church on the island.
