A rewarding walk up the tourist path of Cairnsmore of Fleet in
the Galloway Hills. At 711m the hill dominates the skyline from
Newton Stewart; the path from the car park at Cairnsmore Estate is
clearly defined. The view from ground zero south-west is over
Crammery Hill and the Cree Estuary.

The location of the cache is an ideal rest stop for any ascent
of this fine hill. If you continue to the summit, and it is assumed
many will do so, the views over the more northerly Galloway Hills -
The Merrick, the Rhinns of Kells etc are stunning - on a good day!
See the pictures for yourself.
