A HIKE INTO THE HILLS
The views from this summit I am told are breathtaking, but as you will see from the photos on the day the cache was placed it was a typically dreich Scottish Hill Day, and this is supposed to be summer.
When you find this cache, you can also tick off another trig pillar and smile in the knowledge you have climbed a Corbett.
Please keep you dogs on a lead, lots of game birds up here and they have nerves of steel, leaving it until the last minute to reveal their hiding places.
Spotted on the day of placing:
• Golden Plover
• Lapwing
• Curlew
• Wheatear
• Grouse with chicks
• Hare
• Rabbits
There are a lot of good tracks on these hills, some of them are very new so please take care and follow the correct one. Some of these tracks are so good you will almost be able to reach the cache by mountain bike.
I started out from Millden Lodge in Glen Esk, but you could just as easily start from the B974 at Spittal Cottage if you fancy a longer trek.
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.

Avon Skin so Soft is useful to have in your rucksack
Carry a map & compass, survival bag, torch, whistle and small first aid kit. Know how to use them.
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
