I lied when I said that "Fairlie Desolate" was the last one ...sorry....
The idea behind this cache came from a cacher who mused the mathematics as he walked round the Fairlie Trilogy...thanks Gruff.

The 3 caches almost form an equilateral triangle ……so it should be possible to find a point which is equidistant from all 3 caches …..that’s it folks ….go find !

Ok Ok some help ….
0.914miles from “Tricky” and “Easy”
0.919miles from “Desolate”

More ?
Park at 55°43.894N 004°49.466W follow the track even if it seems to go away from the trig pt..after the locked gate proceed until path flattens out before looking for sheep tracks to the trig pt.

More help ?
Start from the trig Point on Kaim Hill.

More more help ? ...
Ask the travel bug "Mysterious Ness."

Even if you dont find it ...it will be good exercise and help your spelling ....
("Where is that f in Flyfishermanbob"?)

Good luck .
Ps remember the other triangle ...in Bermuda ! .... so make your will, and get your affairs in order before attempting.
