Geocache Description:

This cache was placed on the descent of Mortlich hill, (after finding someone elses cache at the top!) as part of a circular route from Walk Highland. The hill has lovely views across Deeside if you do decide to go to the top and do the whole route; woodland and heather terrain, lots of ferns and the remains of a stone fort at the top. 

Bring a pen!


This cache could be found on the way up to the top of Mortlich Hill following the other published cache's route, parking at their suggested place (Option 1 Waymarker), or it can be found on the descent of Mortlich Hill (which was when it was placed) if you follow the Walk Highland circular route which is what I did! I think I would have struggled finding the path through the fern-covered hillside if I went up this way!  

I would advise waterproofs if you are walking after the rain, I got sodden pushing through the high ferms and gorse bushes following all the paths!

When first placed, cache contained:

  • Log book
  • Womble
  • Homer Simpson figure
  • Balloon
  • 007 cards
