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!
Wish I’d brought my GPSr; didn’t expect to be caching today so I’m running off my phone and it doesn’t do as good a job once close to GZ. Found this in the end, but as others have noted
this isn’t a clip-lock container – description needs updating!
After a garden party next door last night I think I was first to wake up this morning as the sun shone through my tent. I was literally just sleeping in the field adjoining, not a
hundred metres or so from the cache (the buildings here are in my partner‘s aunts garden!). Hopping the fence wasn’t tempting, so I left her
garden normally then came down the path like I was supposed to and soon had the cache in hand.
Found via quick diversion from my expedition to the 2019-05-27 51 -1 geohashpoint nearby. I don’t often find myself on
this side of the city and I was pleased to find a good-sized and well maintained geocache here, in a park I’d never visited! Initially I took 6 the wrong path and had to double back but
soon knew where to look. TFTC, SL.
Quick cache and dash while in the vicinity. Overshot the obvious parking place and so parked up the road at the premises of “Q Associates”. Figured they wouldn’t mind given than it’s
Sunday. Plus their company has the same name as my surname, so I could probably claim it’s mine if anybody challenged me. Cool solution!
