Geocache Description:

This cache is placed close to the Human Sun Clock interactive sculpture in Abbotshaugh Community Woodland


The Human Sun Clock was created by local artist Helen Coffey as part of the community woodland project. The Love & Kisses sculpture is also nearby

To use the sun clock simply stand on the current month and read the time from your shadow. From November to March use the hollowed out numbers to tell the time and for the rest of the year the solid numbers. We often walk along these paths and have enjoyed playing on the sun clock and have found it is always reliable, if you have little cachers they may need to raise their arms for their shadow to reach the time

There are several ways to reach this cache, we would recommend walking in from the Kelpies, when you cross over the lock, the path takes you between the beach huts at Kelpie Marina, follow that path away from the Kelpies instead of turnpng to follow the canal and remain in the Helix. The walk will take you along side the River Carron and the wetlands, we have often seen Herons while walking along here.
