You can take your vehicle right up to the cache location although there isn't much room for turning, or, if you fancy walking up you can park at the village school or the cemetery. There is no need to stray onto private access roads/driveways.
Once you have found the cache it is worthwhile going up to the two masts and the trigpoint (TP3895,) as the views are awesome on a clear day - well worth going the extra bit, but please leave your car at the cache location and walk the last bit. Looking north you can see over to The Orkney Islands, to the west you can see Ben Loyal and Ben Klibreck, and to the southeast you can see Morven and The Scarabens.
Please abide by the countryside code at all times. The land owner has livestock in the vicinity of the cache and the masts and has stressed that dogs must be kept on a lead. Please do not climb over the gates - open them and close them behind you. Extra care should be taken during the lambing season (March/April/May).
For visitors to the area, it's worth checking out the following website as it gives directions and points of interest for walks in the area - including Olrig Hill.
