Make your own loop up as there are lots of other caches in the Ochills to allow a few quality days out.
Andrew Gannel at 670m is one of the higher tops in the Ochils 679m and one of the 8 Donalds.
Ben Cleuch is the highest of the "2000ers" The others are: Blairdenon Hill, 631m, Ben Ever 622m, Andrew Gannel Hill 670m, King's Seat Hill 648m, the eastern pair of Tarmangie Hill 645m and Whitewisp Hill 643m, and Innerdownie 610m.
From the summit of Ben Cleuch (721m), the highest point in the Ochils range, you walk following the fence line until it spilts, the path going south goes over the Law. Instead take the left path which descends to a moss then climbs back up top the summit of Andrew Gannel.
The cache is hidden near the second crag below the summit crags.
Good views over here to King's Seat (the dominant hill above Dollar) 1.5 miles away though there is a 150m descent and re-ascent if you fancy adding that to your tops.
The whole expedition can be a serious day out in the hills so appropriate hillwalking gear is a must.
