My 200th OpenCache 
.
I had been in South Wales for the Groundspeak Pen Y Fan event, the toughest event I have ever been on, by a very big margin. I stayed overnight in Abergavenny, and today made my way back in a fairly leisurely fashion, picking up OpenCaches where I could.
This one was outstanding from a previous visit. That time I had looked at the wrong level, but today I knew better and it was a quick find 
.
Sunday is a much better day to look for this cache than the weekday on which I visited last time. Not only is parking easier, but so is reaching the cache without being observed. And a cold winter's Sunday is better than ever, because this can be a very public place.
The cache setter must be a very small or very flexible person, as I found it very hard to maneuver the cache from its hiding place. I had to lie full length on my side and twist my arm to a quite un-natural angle. Even then it was tricky to get a grip on the cache, and it took me several seconds. With offices right beside the cache location and just over the water, it's clear why Sunday is a good idea .
Even so, while you can check the coast is clear before lying down, it's not possible to look round the corners to see if anyone is coming, and while I was easing the cache from its hiding place, a couple walked round the corner and gave me a most old fashioned look!
But never mind, the deed is done and I now have the smiley for cache #200 .
Thanks for the cache,
Rgds, Andy
