Geocache Description:

Garlieston bay is a favourite place of ours ever since Mum and Dad (Grandma and Grandad) moved to near by Whauphill.  We always bring the dogs to the beach when ever we visit; come rain or shine!  The trail following the waters edge from Garlieston bay through to Rigg bay is a fabulous walk.   We hope you get as much joy from this part of the world as we do.


Along the coastal path from Garlieston bay to Rigg bay, you will pass through what the youngest Towcester Pirate always calls 'Dead Tree Forest' thanks to all the standing, dead wood in this area. But which tree?.

The cache is located just off the path, in an area where the tidal waters will not reach the hiding place.

The cache is not hidden far from the path and is located not far from the gate across the path - this information is provided so as to help contain your search and not to see you roaming too far into the land owned by Galloway House Estate.

The cache is a plastic petling tube with log book and pencil. Inside there is a ready made geocache container for the first to find it :)

We hope you enjoy these Geocaches along this lovely walk - we will continue to add more to the series along this walk!
