Geocache Description:

this is a virtual cache at the top of pen y fan

All you need to do is take 2 pictures:
  • one to prove you have been there, such as your GPS and the view. Note a screengrab of a map can be faked very easily so will not be accepted
  • one of the view on its own
The weather can change rapidly in the mountains. Zero visibility is not unknown - a photo of the cairn may be used in these circumstances (but I would advise against going up in these conditions if you are not prepared for them). Play safe. Get a map of the local area before you start. You may need to have several backup routes to get off. Always be prepared for the worst and then enjoy the best! 18/4/06 - Changed photo requirements to save a bit of space on the old servers. 2 photos now, not 3. 18/4/22 - Changed photo requirements for smartphone era (finally)!
