We heard there was an event cache in nearby Backmuir woods so, as we’re just down the road, and not wanting to miss out, we’ve set this series of caches. While you’re here, you might also want to pay us a visit in the Wildlife Centre – if we haven’t already managed to sneak past Ranger Smith.
This series of caches was inspired by our love for this fabulous children’s story, and the ear-bashing we endure every time anyone starts reciting this book within earshot of a certain pint-sized cacher aka "she who must not be named".
Nettles. Don't you just detest the blighters? No matter how many layers of clothing you have on, they just seem to get through the lot and leave you looking like a teenager with a serious case of acne. Great big red spots that sting and tingle for hours - sometimes days on end. And we still go out caching in them - and we still place caches in them..... some people will never learn............
This trail of caches takes you round parts of Camperdown Park where the first 20 finders can collect one wooden piece from each cache which, when completed, will make up your own wooden pencil holder bear (this cache does not contain a bear part or clue to the bonus cache) before finally ending up at………
Well, you’ll just have to find out that for yourself, if you’re brave enough that is ………
So,
We’re going on a bear hunt.
We’re going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We’re not scared.
Uh-uh! nettles!
Mingin’ stingin’ nettles.
We can’t go over them.
We can’t go under them.
Oh &*$$£%!
We’ve got to go through them!
Ouch eek!
Ouch eek!
Ouch eek!

All the best, and good hunting.....
