We must have been mad to do this one tonight. Sarahjones65 and I set off at about 8.15pm to do some evening caching at Penmon on Anglesey. By the time we had finished there, the sun had well and truly set and dusk was upon us. However, for some reason we still decided to do this one as it was in the area. After all, it's the height of summer and the night's are lighter, aren't they? 
From Penmon we drove to Llangoed and after faffing around driving up an ever narrowing lane, I decided to back out and park in the village car park. I thought we were then going for a quick 5 minute walk to the cache. It turned out to be a 50 minute round trip down narrow country lanes with tall hedges and ever decreasing light. The moon was up and the bats and moths were out in force - all we needed was the howl of a werewolf to make it completely scary.
It was a good job we had a wind-up torch with us, because by the time we got to GZ it was completely dark - we'd never have found the cache without reading the clue and using the torch. Well, find it we did and after taking 'Nancy' the Travel Bug we beat a hasty retreat back to the car - somehow it seemed a lot shorter on the way back.
