Easy Cache to start the caches at the bottom end of the Lunga Estate. Follow the bumpy track up past Corranmor, the goose farm and follow the arrow.
Goosey Gander...
Named after the inhabitants of Corranmor Farm, Geese..!
Geese have a wonderful natural arrogance. This can be the source of endless amusement to the onlooker and a long line of sedately pacing geese proceeding in great state nowhere in particular is always a joy. Having an eye on either side of their head they do not see well to their front. A goose walking towards a large stone when flustered is a dreadful moment. You know, almost beyond doubt, that it will trip over the stone and it does. Geese are not quiet in the face of outrage and the ruffling of feathers, flapping of wings and defiant cackling indicates the degree of loss of dignity.
During the breeding season and when with young, the goose can be very brave and aggressive and you are unwise to turn your back on them. They can deliver an agonising bite to the soft spot at the back of the knee and on one occasion to the back of the neck. However few geese are truly bad but they are bullies and it is important to establish who is boss. The would-be goozard, (a goose minder or guardian), must establish his/her position firmly, early and whenever challenged. A grown man or woman holding a goose by the upper neck and speaking forcefully to it, is not unknown although it can appear a little absurd. It is the bully aspect which makes the goose the scourge of children and those who they sense are frightened.
