Celestial Bar In the Dark-Tartarus

Celestial Bar In the Dark-Tartarus was the first and only, up to now CBITD Event, to have a Geocache, specifically put out for it, by CBITD Team Member Charon AKA Ant89.

Our target was in Ceriog Slate Mine, but to begin at the start.

Because of the limited amount of parking, near the Mine, we had everyone park in a Local Car Park, and meet up at the Shuttle Car point to hand out the Celestial Bars and load people into the Shuttles.

Once all the Shuttles were parked up, we set off on our Journey, though the early runners got caught out, and tried going completely upstream, rather than following the path further along, then crossing the stream, to the path leading to Cariog Entrance





Though the picture was taken on a dry day, the pipe can have one metre of water flowing out of it.

The pipe though only 20m long, is a back break, leg killing walk. And you are so relieved to be able to stand upright again

Then began our search for Ceriog Challenge: Perpetual Darkness






On reaching our goal, Adam - Skippy from Skippy and Pingu was sent to retrieve the container, as there was a very special surprise waiting in the container for him



Unbeknown to Skippy, Rebecca - Pingu had been deviously plotting and scheming with the CBITD Team. And had arranged for  1,000 Finds Geocoin, to be placed in the Container, for  Skippy to find


Once the Cache and Geocoin had been retrieved, the Log Book signed, and the Container put back, we took a diversion on the way out. To visit the fabled Jurassic Park






Before it was time to head back out of Ceriog, we had to face the tunnel of Pain again




My Thanks Goes to Charon - Ant89 without whom this Event would not have happened, so I close this Post with a Picture of Charon the Guide to the Underworld, leaving and coming back into the  Daylight
