I had found the general location of this cache on my way up through Llandovery early in the morning. However, was in too much of a rush to find it sensibly. The cache is located in a lay-by on a difficult bend heading eastbound out of Llandovery towards Brecon.
So, after a late night up in Aberystwyth, it was all quiet and pitch black when I arrived at the cache site at 1.30am, and the stars were shining beautifully. Turned out to be a good decision to find it at the dead of night. The cache is fairly awkward and I wouldn't fancy doing it in the glare of daytime traffic.
The name of the cache stems from the stone memorial to a horse and carriage which came to grief at this spot many moons ago. In effect, the UK's first ever don't drink and drive notice.
