THE TERRAIN/DIFFICULTY RATING HAS BEEN INCREASED A LITTLE FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS, DUE TO THE THORNS AND NETTLES NEAR GZ.
This cache is one of two of ours, set alongside the "Clackmannan Way" cycle route, (this 11 mile route actually goes by two main names - "The Clackmannan Way" and "The West Fife Cycle Way"). This part of the cycle route takes you along a section of what used to be the Alloa-Dunfermline railway, with some good views of the surrounding countryside.
This small section of the old railway line has not been tarmacced and is quite rough underfoot. Therefore, I think it would probably be too awkward for wheelchairs/strollers to get direct access to the actual cache itself (hence the terrain rating of 1.5).
Stealth will be needed at times as this is a very popular path with dog walkers, cyclists (off course lol), horse riders and joggers. At the time of placing, the co-ords were accurate to within 10 feet.
Parking is available at N 56 06.779 W 003 44.379 (a disused, dead-end road, near the old Clackmannan railway bridge).
The cache is a small "Lock & Lock" type container, with room for very small swaps, geocoins etc.
The original contents were:
Logbook, two small pencils and a stash card (all in a ziploc bag).
The swaps/swag were: Geocaching badge, Geocaching keyring, "Signal/Frog" pin badge Pin Badge, Tigger eraser, mini torch carabiner, frog bottle opener.
It's probably easier to try for this one in Autumn/Winter because the area around GZ can be very dense with thorns/nettles etc., during the late Spring and Summer months.
