Popular local woodland with walkers, horses and Mountain Bikers.
There are many routes and paths to the cache. Most start on good surfaced paths, but nearer the top they change into sometimes muddier track, but still good quality and easy to follow. Just keep heading up!
The name Galashiels is derived from shiels or shielings which means dwellings, this is usually preceded by a place or personal name, hence Galashiels means dwellings by the Gala Water. The first recorded reference to the town was in 1124, during the reign of David I, contained in a charter where it was referred to as Galche.
Gala Hill was first mentioned in the writings of Blind Harry in 1296 when he refers to William Wallace's pursuit of Cospatrick, Earl of Dunbar, who had taken refuge on top of Gala Hill.
Well done def=adder - FTF, and in the dark too!
