A quick cache and dash or, if you feel like some fresh air, a circuit on country roads around Bridge of Weir taking you past Barnbeth House, a route which is popular with dog walkers, joggers and cyclists. Cachers with dogs, pushchairs and small children should be aware that although vehicles are infrequent some may be traveling at speed. Boots are also recommended as the road can become muddy, particularly when it passes through the working dairy at High Auchensale Farm.
The cache is located near the Jericho Community of the Monastery of Jesus. These are men who live a life of Christian simplicity, a life-style inspired by Jesus and the Twelve, and who through on-going conversion of life to Christ-likeness and instructed by Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan would open Jericho Inns at the heart of town and city from where they would exercise their ministry of being ‘JESUS AMONG THE PEOPLE’ welcoming, supporting, and caring for those being ‘passed by on the other side’ irrespective of colour, class, creed, sex, or sexual orientation.
The Brothers felt an affinity with Prinknash Abbey in Gloucestershire, whose Founder over a hundred years ago had intended to found such a sister monastery of men with an apostolate to the poor, an intention which was never realised. An approach to Prinknash led to an informal Association with the Jericho Community being graciously voted in by the Prinknash Chapter in 1992, and in 1998 a request from the Jericho Community to be received as a community of Benedictine Oblates of Prinknash was acceded to by the Abbot and Deans, the Jericho Society becoming a Scottish Charity as the ‘Jericho Benedictine Society’ and the Brothers becoming commonly known as the Jericho Benedictines.
When you have found the cache relax on the nearby seat and enjoy the view.
