Geocache Description:

Welcome to Kincardine West.

A short series of 7 caches to take you round the outskirts of the former power station in Kincardine.
Suitable for most ages and abilities and also ideal for cycling or walking with your geodog.
This series can be combined with Kincardine East and other local caches if time permits.


Although the power station has long been demolished, this area is still a no-go zone and is fenced off with no access to the public. There are still signs of activity within and the security guards remain at thier posts and can be seen patrolling the area in thier van. Local whispers would have you believe that there is now some form of Roswell type base, on or under this site where aliens have been found or are studied but I'll leave that for you to decide whilst collecting these caches.

Parking is available throughout the village and some can be completed as quick C&D's but if you complete these in numerical order I've included coordinates for what I feel is the best starting point on Station Road (N56 4.096 W003 43.315) with access to the level crossing (N56 4.107 W003 43.369).
**These waypoints are only listed on Kincardine West 1 - Swimming with fish**
This series leads you along a solid coastal path, free of vehicles, but then requires you to walk along a country road that is often quite busy so care should be taken and geodogs and kids should be kept under control.
Most of the caches are micro but 'The Rockery' and 'The Rainbow' should be big enough for small swag items or Trackables.

Coordinates were taken using my phone and each visit gave a different result so I've taken the average and this should take you close enough to GZ. If in doubt, use the hint.

Kincardine West 3 - The Rockery 

N56 4.543 W003 44.181

You are now under the new Clackmannan Bridge.
One of these stones is not like the others, one of these stones just doesn't belong.
Small lock and lock container suitable for some swag and TB's.


After finding this cache it is advisable to put your geodogs on thier leads and keep kids close before heading to KW4-The Rainbow, as you will be walking beside the very busy main road at the Clackmannan Bridge.
