Amazed that this hasn’t seen more footfall in its 3-month life, but part of the reason might be the inaccurate coordinates: I searched in vain for some time before reading walk tall’s
log which suggested that I ought to look closer to N 51° 51.882′ W 001° 28.304′, where I found it quite quickly – suggest that the cache is moved or the coordinates amended!
A moderately easy find this afternoon while on my way back from my expedition to the nearby 2019-08-01 51 -1
geohashpoint; I needed the hint to reassure me that I was looking in the right place before I pushed my hand through the prickly bushes at the GZ. TFTC.
Dropped by following TomTrxsh’s log implying there was a problem with the cache container, but it seems to be fine. The lids on this kind of container can be completely removed but are
easy to put back on one you know the trick to it – see my video for a tutorial.
My partner fleeblewidget and I have been cycling around Scotland as part of celebrations of the twelfth anniversary of us becoming a couple (a
relationship that started in Edinburgh). On the way, we’ve been cherry-picking some of the most-interesting geocaches to hunt for as we’ve travelled.
After cycling our last leg from Glasgow to Edinburgh yesterday, we spent today visiting parts of the city we’d not seen before, including the hidden gem that is Craigmillar Castle.
Fortunately, fleeblewidget has a life membership of English Heritage and as a result of a reciprocal arrangement with Scottish Heritage, and so our entry to this wonderful medieval
castle was free of charge. An extended exploration of the grounds found us the relevant spot where we took the pictures attached. Email to the CO with the challenge answers will follow
soon.
Thanks for setting up this virtual and helping us discover this corner of Edinburgh. FP awarded, and TFTC!
Found after an extended search with fleeblewidget. Even though we knew exactly what we were looking for, based on the description etc., this
still took us a while. Totally worth it! Greetings from Oxford. TFTC!
Found easily with fleeblewidget: we’ve come up from Oxford and we’re cycling from Glasgow to Edinburgh as part of our anniversary celebrations.
Lovely spot, and yes, surely it was a bridge, once. TFTC!
Found with fleeblewidget at the start of our anniversary break cycling around Scotland. Our sleeper train got cancelled (grr) so we arrived
from London on a rail replacement coach (ugh) and started our morning exploring the necropolis and finding this little cache. Super easy find, TFTC!
Some serious vegetation got in my way here, but not for long. Hmm; got to the end of that path faster than I expected… perhaps I’ve time to find a couple more caches before the others
wake and breakfast becomes a possibility…
Nice to see a proper-sized cache container (although I did have to evict an earwig from it)! FP for that, and thanks for both this and the series. Greetings from Oxford!
