Geocache Description:

This is one of four caches linking snaik’s Atholl Walks Glen Derby (GCQ96Y) and Atholl Walks Lochan Oisinneach Mor (GCQ96V) caches.
The caches follow a rights of way path and drove trail although most of the path is no longer visible but it is still shown on Ordinance Survey maps.
The old right of way follows the Loch Eisg Burn from the Atholl Walks Glen Derby cache to my Atholl Walks Stile on the Ridge cache.

In spite of the poor environment many insects, birds, and animals live on the moor. The above food web diagram shows how some of them obtain their food and how their death and decay contributes to the soil in which the plants live. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________
