Check the Hillphones to see whether stalking is taking place in Glen Easan in the late summer or autumn.
Glen Easan Biorach is a classic example of glacial a hanging valley, so that when it meets Glen Chalmadale above Lochranza the River Easan has to drop over 80m down through a narrow gorge before reaching its confluence with the Chalmadale water close to the Isle of Arran Distillery. The local story for the name of the hidden valley (The Glen of the Heifer's Waterfall) was that Glen Easan was used to hide the local cattle either from raiders from Kintyre, or the taxman, or farmers from Kintyre trying to get their stolen cattle back. But the Valley of the Heifer's Waterfall holds a more ancient and mysterious treasure too!
Millennia ago this hidden valley was chosen as the final resting place of the lost pharoh, but to find him you must make your way past the sentinals that gaurd the way to his tomb. Each sentinal has engraved upon it the way to the next. The first sentinel's message is a code word, but the second and third are printed co-ordinates, which must be left in the waypoint cache box. When at final cache, there are some swaps inside, but PLEASE LEAVE the two female guards and the Pharaoh king in the cache box.they have been here at time of cache burial; and belong to the cache theme. Thanks
The first sentinal has a code phrase which takes the form of a sequence NLNNN where N = number and L = letter. The second sentinal is at:
55 41.ABC North, 5 16.DEF West
A = difference between the first and second numbers
B = the letter minus the first number
C = the number of holes ontop of the sentinal
D = third number
E = fourth number
F = first number
