This is one of a series of caches that has been placed along the River Ayr Walk and its connecting pathways between Sorn and Glenbuck.
The caches have all been sited at significant points with the intention of introducing the cacher to the rich history, the wildlife and the natural beauty of this area.
The River Ayr Way is Scotland’s first source to sea path network and stretches for 66km from Glenbuck to the sea at Ayr.
This section links the Swinging Bridge cache to Sorn. 8.5 km's (app.2 1/2 hrs) to Sorn. Car parking at the Swinging Bridge is available with more car parking at Sorn for a second car. There is no direct access to the road from this section of the River Ayr Way. The path is very well sign posted but can be very muddy and wet at certain times of the year, so good walking gear is advisable.
This part of the R.A.W takes you through the Benthead Braes, an area of farming land, so if you cache with geohounds, please make sure they are leashed and under control. Lots of birds use this area for nesting too, so for the twitchers amongst you, bring your bino's. When setting this cache we observed two Kingfishers, so perhaps they nest nearby.
After locating this cache please replace cammo and leave the area litter free. I have special permission for this cache so long as dogs are kept on leads at all times and no litter is left on the R.A.W path network.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy the natural beauty around this section of the River Ayr Way.
