Geocache Description:


Hobgoblinkitefliers - what a fab name! Love their bottletop calling-cards, which I thought they got specially made - until I saw Mr Hobgob drinking a bottle of his favourite tipple at Beecraigs...... Takes a long time for the penny to drop with me it does. And last week I just got the joke with Follieus's name. Been pronouncing it wrong for the past year or so - at least I still had to explain it to my sidekick, so some pennies drop slower than others.

This cache is set along the path between the Millenium Hall and Backmuir Woods. The cache is close to kissing gates which we thought looked like headstones.

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 the Backmuir Woods event of Sunday 23rd October. Please do not log before this date.
