Geocache Description:

A short series of caches in Dundee, loosely based on lines from a song which came to mind while caching in the hills.


Ambling over the Alyth Hills recently, looking for caches, but going slowly and thoroughly enjoying the walk and the scenery, it occurred to me that too often we dash from one cache to the next, especially on drive-bys, and barely notice the scenery. It can be more of a race to "get them done" than a day out enjoying views as we cache. The line "You drive like a demon from station to station" from one of my favourite Bowie songs came to mind. From this came the inspiration for this series of caches, based on lines from the song.


Have an easy walk along to the cache. The river and bridge are always very nice, but especially with the sun setting in the west. You may see seals swimming in the river, but at low tide it is almost guaranteed you will see them basking on the sand near the bridge. You will also see the remnants of the pillars from the original Tay bridge, which collapsed in the Tay Bridge Disaster of 1879.


Cache is a blue tube near the riverside parking area, a short distance from the restaurant. Not quite "overlooking the ocean" but it's a big river, and the North Sea isn't far away. The path is OK for buggies and wheelchairs.
