Please note that the cache is not at the above
co-ordinates. There is a parking area for the woodland and this is
added as an additional waypoint below.
Backmuir woods is a 45 hectare woodland cared
for by The Woodland Trust in partnership with a management group
from the local community.
The mixture of mature and new woodland and the
wide variety of trees provide a haven for many kinds of wildlife.
Jays, woodpeckers, buzzards, ferns, fungi, roe deer and red
squirrels are part of that natural mix.
There are about 9km of trails, including 1.5km
on a surfaced, all-abilities track. The remainder being woodland
trails which can become soft and muddy after rain, so sturdy
footwear is advised. The gently sloping terrain offers views over
the Tay to the south and the Sidlaws to the north.
Cache is set for Backmuir woods event on Sunday
23rd October so it would be appreciated if this cache was not
logged before this date.
We have already learned how to crack the
alphabet code, but if only teaching children to do the same was
that easy. At school one teaching method uses "Jolly Phonics", a
multi-sensory visual, auditory and kinaesthetic approach. To make
our language more complicated we have 26 graphemes (letters) in our
alphabet but 44 phonemes (sounds).
If it were just a case of one letter
representing one sound, our spelling might look a bit like that
used in the picture message below.
If you need help to decode it then download and
print the pictures then when at Backmuir Wood head to GC339C2 where
you’ll find something to help you.
