Geocache Description:

Micro.You'll need to bring your own quill and ink...

Best if you start at Óin GC2C773, where you'll find parking for one or two cars.

Note: If Glóin is not at home then look at the waypoint leading you to his even smaller son.


“Humph!...Will he do, do you think? It is all very well for Gandalf to talk about this hobbit being fierce, but one shriek like that in a moment of excitement would be enough to wake the dragon and all his relatives, and kill the lot of us...

He looks more like a grocer than a burglar!”

The Eccleshall Ring is a 2-3 Hour walk south of Eccleshall, based on the 13 Dwarves that accompanied The Hobbit.

ASK Glóin: Where's Gandalf?
Collect the numbers from each cache if you want to find Gandalf, a bonus cache also near Eccleshall. Glóin's number is on the bottom outside of the cache container.

Glóin carried the tinder box, so he always had a use for sticks...
