Geocache Description:

PLEASE DON'T WALK OVER THE NICE MAN'S GARDEN! I CAN'T BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE ARE APPARENTLY DOING THIS!! IT IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE GROUNDS OF THE HOUSE AND IS ACCESSED FROM THE ROADWAY.
The nearby house owner knows all about this cache (one of his relatives is a geocacher) & they are usually very friendly and like helping cachers!

A small, simple, wheelchair-friendly cache set up for the folk who attended the "Baggies At The Ben.......Again!" event in February 2014 (but they missed out as it didn't get released until after the event!)
Union Road seemed an appropriate place for a cache back then in 2014 with the important Scottish referendum vote occuring later in the year as to whether Alba should stay IN or OUT of the UNION.

When you get to GZ you should hear the sound of running water but you can't really fall IN as it's fenced off.
I doubt you will see any Salmon in it either!! Hopefully you won't drop the cache IN the water and will be able to get the log roll OUT of the tube. It is a tiny magnetic tube so you will have to get your own pen or pencil OUT. Perhaps you could mention in your log if you are an "IN"ner or an "OUT"er?! As an Albaphile Sassenach I'm interested to know what folk think.

19th SEPTEMBER 2014 UPDATE................................
SO IT WAS A 'NO' VOTE AND THE UK REMAINS 'UNITED' APART FROM SPORTING EVENTS THAT IS AND SO WE AVOID
