Geocache Description:


Leave the car at N 56° 35.399, W004° 00.118, a fair size car park at the bottom of the hill. Walk up the forest track to the Black Rock Viewpoint, you might want to stop here to get your breathe back as the track is seriously steep to begin with.

Then carry on,keep going upwards until you reach the very top of the hill, if you end up walking back down the other side, you have gone too far. At the top of the hill, leave the track and follow your GPS across country. There is no defined path from the top of the hill to the Ice House, you'll need to find your own way.

It is approx. 6.5 miles round trip from car park to cache and back again, the views just down from the cache site, over Loch Tay are stunning and make it more than worthwhile. There is an abundance of wild life in these hills.

This cache is not for the faint hearted. The forestry track could be done on a bike, although it may need to be pushed the first mile or so, once you leave the track at the top, you would need to leave it secured to a tree near the path. Coming down would be fun. Not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs.
