+plssmith Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi there, We have heard that the North Wales caches are pretty good and in view of this and for a bit of a change we are looking to take the caravan for a weekend away at the beginning of October in the North Wales direction. We have checked on the geocaching map but there are just soooooo many caches we dont know where to start looking!!! Does anyone have a personal favourite series or circuit that they would recommend? we are looking for something a bit different and dont mind a good long walk. The children will be with us and they like the caches that are a bit out of the ordinary. Any help would be appreciated as we can then look to finding a caravan site nearby. Many Thanks Sarah, Simon, Helen & Kate - Plssmith. x Quote Link to comment
+keithnipper49 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) The Aber Falls loop, well worth doing and a few others around there you can pick up at the same time, have a great trip. Keithnipper 49 Edited September 19, 2011 by keithnipper49 Quote Link to comment
+Malpas Wanderer Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The Aber Falls loop, well worth doing and a few others around there you can pick up at the same time, have a great trip. Keithnipper 49 As above Aber Falls is quite nice Dragons Den nearby I enjoyed too and there might just still be a coin in there. I enjoyed The 3Ds, I'm sure there is a path there somewhere. Any caches by ZagCat will be a little different. Sorry the computer is so slow tonight can't look up the links. Quote Link to comment
+Andy_and_Alfie Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Have a look around Caerwys - this isnt too far into Wales and there are a number of good series to the South/East of this small town (Loopy in Caerwys, Monster walk, Carry on Caching etc). We intend to do Team Marzipans 'Numbers' series shortly One of or all time favourite caches (near Colwyn bay)is this one ... GC117VN. A great adventure Cheers Andy Edited September 20, 2011 by Andy_and_Matt Quote Link to comment
+Ant89 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) any cache by ZagCatt or Team Marzipan you'll be inspired by the former, and will be spoilt for choice with the latter! There is also an event on in Wrexham on the 30th of sept Edited September 20, 2011 by Ant89 Quote Link to comment

+Croesgadwr Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Try the "Twelve days of Christmas" series set by Hawkeye1, near Llanferres (Mold to Ruthin road). It really is a cracking series, highly recommended. Quote Link to comment
+Ranger Roo Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The Bala views series was fun (eg http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=22a539a8-e3b2-4166-964e-5837b9145598) - not exactly a circuit - several caches each set a short walk from lake Bala to collect the clues - then the final cache is a challenging hike away (I haven't done the bonus yet as moved further away, but will get to it at some point! However know the area and it seems to be set in something of a wild wilderness!!) Quote Link to comment
+martin&lindabryn Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 The TUFTY caches GC321VB set of 9 by Otter 1, around Bala have some very unusual containers and is wheelchair and child friendly takes about 1 hour to complete Quote Link to comment
