Geocache Description:

Knocktinkle Viewpoint, overlooking the Fleet Valley in the heart of Galloway, is located in a National Scenic Area. This cache is one of a series of five taking you to places where you can enjoy the magnificent views and splendour of the area.

Fleet Bay from Mossyard Shore

The Fleet Valley is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful areas in the South of Scotland yet it is often bypassed by tourists who trundle along the A75 to Stranraer and Cairnryan bound for Northern Ireland. This series of four caches will take you to locations which the local people have recently voted as being the best places to admire the views and experience the wildlife of the area.

Murray Usher Memorial Stone at the Viewpoint

Knocktinkle Hill viewpoint offers panoramic views over the upper Fleet Valley towards Cairnsmore of Fleet. You can easily see why this location is so popular - on a clear day the views are quite spectacular so don't forget your camera.

Parking is adjacent, so you can cache and dash if views aren't your thing or it's poor visibility. Be warned that despite its remote location this new viewpoint can be busy so stealth may be required.

You are looking for a 35mm film canister - but look carefully, you will not need to move any large stones, only a very small one!
