Geocache Description:

A small traditional cache intended as a local TB hotel in West End, Southampton. It is located by a footpath which can become muddy in wet weather.


The cache name is based on a traditional Scottish lilt which tells of all the joys of welcome, laughter, tall stories, good company and love of being reunited with one’s own people on returning home after long voyages to faraway places.

The cache is a screw top plastic container in a cammo bag located on a public footpath in West End, Southampton and is the final destination and home for Team PLEMT International TB Challenges.  It is intended to be big enough to accommodate some TBs on their journeys.

Team PLEMT is a caching group comprising PA474, losailor, Eriba 06, Mr Meekal and tpot2012 who meet regularly.  The team always try to live up to the ideals of “Westering Home”.

Westering home and a song in the air 
Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care 
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there 
Isle o' my heart my own one 

Tell me o' lands o' the Orient gay 
Speak o' the riches and joys o' Cathay 
Aye but it's grand to be wakin' each day 
To find yourself nearer to Islay 

Chorus
Where are the folk like the folk o' the West 
Cantie and couthie and kindly the best 
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At hame wi' my ain folk in Islay
