Geocache Description:


Backmuir woods is a 45 hectare woodland cared for by The Woodland Trust in partnership with a management group from the local community.

The mixture of mature and new woodland and the wide variety of trees provide a haven for many kinds of wildlife. Jays, woodpeckers, buzzards, ferns, fungi, roe deer and red squirrels are part of that natural mix.

There are about 9km of trails, including 1.5km on a surfaced, all-abilities track. The remainder being woodland trails which can become soft and muddy after rain, so sturdy footwear is advised. The gently sloping terrain offers views over the Tay to the south and the Sidlaws to the north.

Cache is set for Backmuir woods event on Sunday 23rd October. Please do not log before this date.

This cache was set for Skylark, who although still very much a newbie at Geocaching, she has patiently listened to me wittering on about it for a few years now.
Whilst preparing for this event I was explaining how it would be based by the beech. Unfortunately she took this to have a different meaning and asked if there really was a beach in the middle of Backmuir woods...bless!
So, this cache is for her!

The themed articles that were originally in this cache are no more so the cache has been replaced with a regular sized cache. (The beach explanation therefore doesn't make a lot of sense anymore)
