Geocache Description:


This cache is set along one of several waymarked forest walks that are accessed from the Glen Doll car park (parking fee £2 per day)

The circular Donault walk is approx 8km/5 miles long and is marked by blue bands on the marker posts. Most of the walk is buggyable along forestry roads but the section on Jocks Road from just before "Rocky Road" to where the forest opens out into the glen is narrower and over rougher ground.

This cache is set close to the point where you turn back towards the ranger station and car park instead of carrying on to climb the open hillsides following Jocks Road. It was only in the past few years that this section of path from the original track, down across the new bridge and back towards the wide forestry road was built making this a circular walk taking you along both banks of the White Water. The path here on the south side of the river is certainly more open and gives great views along the water tumbling through the glen floor.

There are great views looking up to the head of the glen from the bridge.

Cache is a flat 200ml  lock and lock container containing only a logbook and pencil but with space for small bugs and coins.
