Geocache Description:

Nethercroy lies between Croy, Kilsyth and Dullatur. It is bordered to the south by the Glasgow-Edinburgh rail line, and to the north by the Forth and Clyde canal. There are lots of trails through the woods and over Croy Hill, and some interesting sights and views to be seen.


This series of caches takes you around Nethercroy. It has been created with children (of all ages) in mind, and so there's a fun element to each cache. If you collect the bonus co-ordinates at each cache, you will be able to find this bonus cache too.

It is recommended that you park at the parking co-ordinates provided, and then do the caches in order. The first half of the route is mostly on a good path, but as the second half can be a bit muddier, boots are recommended.

This cache is not at the published co-ordinates. The real co-ordinates are N55 58.PQR W004 01.STU ... P, Q, R, S, T and U can be found in the other caches in the series.

9 July 2016 update: This cache was muggled and so we've replaced it in a new location. All the bonus numbers have changed. If you logged any of the other caches in the series before today and so have the old bonus numbers, contact me and I will send you the new number(s) for those caches.

Thanks to Forestry Commission Scotland for allowing these caches to be placed.
