Soay are unlike any other sheep, being the most primitive with very varied characteristics plus a history that evokes a romanticism back to the Bronze Age. They are similar to the mouflon seen wild in Corsica, Sardinia and Cyprus. How did they arrive at the St. Kilda islands and when? No one really knows. But what we do know is that when owners talk of them they talk of intelligent, nimble animals with excellent mothering habits, always with quirky behavioural traits and lots of fun to watch. They are excellent conservation grazers, being content in woodland and on hillsides.
The co-ordinates given are not those of the actual cache but the suggested entrance to the footpath at the beginning of your walk.
Each of the church micro caches contains two digits of the bonus cache co-ordinates.
The shortest route to the cache is down a footpath which is knee high with nettles during spring & summer. An alternative, longer, route is to continue on the footpath from our An Apple A Day cache but the downside to this route is the poor GPS signal through the wood. The cache can be found at:
