This cache is located at the bealach between Beinn Dorain and Beinn Beinn an Dothaidh and is so called because at this point you have two choices, munros to the North and the South!
To get to this cache you are going to have to do a bit of walking and it starts at Bridge of Orchy. Park your car at the car park next to the Bridge of Orchy Hotel, on the road from Tyndrum to Rannoch Moor (A82). Head up to the train station, under the platform and through the West Highland Way marked gate, turning left. From here a path runs all the way up to the Bealach which is marked on the OS map as being 744m high. Therefore it's a steep climb but the view on the way up are very rewarding, looking West to Ben Starav and Ben Cruachan.
Please be aware that in good conditions this is still a strenuous walk but in bad conditions extreme care should be taken as it can be very dangerous. Weather conditions can change in a matter of minutes and all the usual warnings apply when walking up munros. The following points should be observed (Thanks Snaik!)
You are responsible for your own safety.
Are you fit enough to complete your chosen walk in the available time?
Know where you are going on the walk and follow the route on your map.
If in a Group know how many are in your party and stay together, never split up.

In severe winter conditions you must carry an ice axe. You are also recommended to carry crampons.

Cold temperatures will reduce the life of your batteries
Please leave your route with a responsible person.
