Geocache Description:

11 May 2024, 09:00 - 10:00

Early start for this one our 5th! I plan to pick up some local caches after with plenty of time to still make a Eurovision party.

The first castle on the site was built by the Normans after 1081 to protect the newly conquered town of Cardiff and control the route along the Taff Gorge.

Although the event is based around the castle, to attend will not cost you any entry fee as it is not in the castle itself. 

If you fancy a visit afterwards you will need to pay the entry fee. 

 

Hope to see how our Welsh Legends TBs are getting on if they are able to attend 

(I have renamed the trackables Welsh Legends as I have had to expand the group :) and not all are royalty anymore. But they are all Welsh!)

Gruffudd Ap Llywelyn

Owain Glyndŵr

Owen Tudor

Rhodri the Great

Llywelyn the Great

King Tewdrig

 

UPDATE Is that between them all they've hit over 31 different caches and I've had at least 53 separate logs (as of 2/4)

 

⭐️My little Romans will not be attending if that helps certain cachers decide if they want to come (this is for you snufflepig) 

☀️It's nicer to Storm Castles when it's dry and sunny, so fingers crossed for a good forecast
