Geocache Description:

This cache is an addition to the HW Trail caches that take you around a pleasant walk within the grounds of Heriot-Watt University at Riccarton.
***THIS CACHE IS NORMALLY PREMIUM-ONLY BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL USERS FROM 14/11/12 - 1/12/12 AS PART OF THE CAMPUS CACHING CAPERS EVENT (http://coord.info/GC3YA1E)***

This can be a pleasant cache to find but I'm afraid as it is on university grounds there are a couple of rules to abide by.

1. You must park at the carpark at the entrance to the grounds. The coordinates are N55 54.671 W003 18.898 (these co-ordinates are also listed as an additional waypoint below). You must have a permit to drive any further into the grounds. Alternatively you could catch a bus - the following numbers travel directly into the terminus within the campus: 25, 34, 45.
2. Although there is nothing to stop you from doing this series at night it is advised that you come during the day. The reason for this is that the campus is much better during the day, you won't be disturbing the students whilst they are overly merry and you won't cause unnecessary action for the security wondering why torches are being used in the woods.
Otherwise don't be put off of what is hopefully a nice cache in an area that likes to welcome the public.

Hermiston Walk is the main pathway that links Heriot Watt University campus to Hermiston and the Union Canal. Cache is a small container with logbook & pencil.
