Geocache Description:


This three stage multi cache will take you on a walk around the top of Earystane Plantation. The route will take an hour or so and is muddy at the best of times, so boots are essential. Warm clothing is also necessary as the terrain is high and exposed.
If you have time, why not walk down to
EARYSTANE 2 - The Two Towers.

Warning to dog owners: The farmer uses the plantation to move his sheep between adjoining fields.
