Geocache Description:

This is our first cache hidden Crossbost, situated around 10miles south of Stornoway.  There is space for parking at the start of the footpath to the cache's location, close to the Portokabin Post Office.  It is a short walk up to the sign-posted 19th Century Burial Ground, though the cache is not inside the boundary wall.


Opposite the sign post for the 19th Century Burial Ground, in Crossbost, you go through a gate and follow the path up a small hill to the stone wall enclosure of the Burial Ground.  In wet weather the ground is soggy and it is advisable to wear walking or wellington boots.  The path runs through land often frequented by sheep and sometimes cattle, so be aware. The Burial Ground is a short walk up a slope and situated at the top of a hill, surrounded by a rectangular dry-stone wall. To find the cache you should stand with your back to the gate look down the slope directly in front of you, you will see a lot of rubble and a few large boulders. Your interest should be in the latter. At time of placing, the cache contains a Trackable and a 'FTF' key-ring... good luck!
