Geocache Description:

After being taken to Tollohill Woods by the other caches here, I fell in love with the area and wanted to entice more people to discover the many paths that take you all over the place! There are 8 Lord of the Rings themed caches in this set, I hope you have fun!


On the way up to Weathertop

This cache has taken position amongst the rocks at a part where the path circles upwards around the hill to the monument at the top. Feels a bit like ascending Weathertop! The GPS is affected a little by the tree cover, so please let me know how you get on. I'm a little wary when providing co-ordinates as I'm not convinced I'm doing it right, especially in an area of woodland. 

You will need to take a pen and some tweezers with you. I am unsure how long this cache will last so please do report any maintenance required and I shall get on it!

Take care when exploring Tollohill Woods as there are a lot of interesting quarry(?) holes, which form a few cliffy areas and stagnant pools!
