Placed this cache with JesterJes while we were staying in one of the Blackhouses on our week-long "Highlands & Islands Geo-Caching Bonanza" (or as she strangely called it....our holiday). This cache can be done whilst visiting the Gearranan Blackhouse Village or simply as part of a nice walk. (The cache is not in the village or in their property but the easiest route is to take a walk through the village.)
To get to the cache site, park at visitors parking just outside the Blackhouse village. Take a 2 minute stroll through the village and straight down to the beach. From there your GPS, your wits and the clue should get you there.
When placed the cache contained logbook, pen, a Travel Bug picked up in Skye and lots of other random goodies.
Whist in the area the Blackhouse Village is worth a visit. Since 1989 Urras nan Gearrannan (the Garenin Trust) has been painstakingly restoring the once derelict blackhouses and croft land to recreate an authentic settlement offering visitors modern facilities within the surroundings of the original village. Traditional methods have been used to recreate the drystone masonry and thatched roofing of the original croft houses with the discreet integration of modern conveniences.
As I am not local and live on the mainland, this cache has been adopted by hartolive (many thanks to them for making this cache possible)
