Geocache Description:

This cache is located at an impressive viewpoint. Clear well defined waymarked footpath with a choice of routes and distances. Highest point - 124m



The view south towards Auchencairn

This is a PhotoCache (optional) located conveniently close to the viewpoint at the highest point of the Forestry Commission 'Doach Wood' waymarked trail. There is a choice of well defined footpath routes from the car park just off the B736 south east of Castle Douglas.

We recommend the 2 mile yellow trail which is a fine woodland walk. The views from the viewpoint over Auchencairn Bay are quite magnificant - hence the thinking behind the Photo Cache. You can extend your route by following the red route anti clockwise section once you descend to join the path from the viewpoint - the choice is yours.

Once you find the cache you will find a disposable camera as well as the usual log book etc. Using the view as your backdrop why not take a photograph with you in the picture - hopefully there will be more than one of you in your group!

We will upload your pic's to the site.

NOTE: If you receive a weak satellite signal due to tree cover. Continue to the viewpoint - you will easily acquire a good signal to navigate you to ground zero.
