Geocache Description:

This is a nano cache located at the Greig Street Foot Bridge.


One of two long foot bridges across the river ness. This bridge is an iron suspension bridge which was fabricated by the local Rose Street Foundry (now AI Welders) in 1881. Perhaps the most interesting features of this bridge (certainly amongst children) are the large oscillations when more than a couple of people are walking over it. A classic example of resonant oscillation.

This bridge is normally very busy with pedestrians so you may have to pretend to take in the view whilst retrieving/replacing this cache!

The seven caches located at the various bridges contain six of the coordinate digits and one additional clue for finding the cache. The other caches in this series are:

GC1HD2T - River Ness - Ness Viaduct
GC1HD36 - River Ness - Waterloo Bridge
GC1HD3J - River Ness - Friars Bridge
GC1HD3P - River Ness - Grieg Street Foot Bridge
GC1HD3V - River Ness - Ness Bridge
GC1HD3Y - River Ness - Infirmary Foot bridge
GC1HD42 - River Ness - Ness Islands Foot Bridge
GC1HD4P - River Ness - Bridges bonus cache


All seven bridge caches need to be found to allow the bonus cache to be found.

The coordinates for finding the bonus cache are as follows:

N 57 27.ABC
W 004 13.DEF
The additional clue is also required to locate the cache.

All caches placed as part of this series can be retrieved from a path or track. At no point will you need to enter the river or venture down the river bank.
