Geocache Description:

This series of 7 cache's are palced on the A712. This is a far more pleasent and scenic route than the A75 from Crocketford to Newton Stewart which is actually 5 miles shorter than the main road. May be shorter, but will take longer as you will stop to enjoy the view, see the Deer and feed the wild goats (both near Newton Stewart).


These 7 are placed between Crocketford and Balmaclellan and are nearly all placed on or near bridges (bridges not always visible, but identifiable on OS map sheet 320). The first 6 containers are 'alternative' or micro's hidden out of view, but the first clue will give you an indication for all of the first 6 caches. Bring a pen and tweezers. The last one is a bonus with a wee prize for completing the full series, sit and enjoy the view and the feeling of satisfaction and well done.

Please park in the lay-by and walk down to the cache. It is hidden close to the bridge and you do not have to leave the tarmac to find. It is in an 'alternative' container and you will have to search a bit to turn this one up !!! You will have to use hands as well as eyes to find.

Before heading for #2, you can drop onto Loch View 4: Lochenkit Loch, another of my caches. PLEASE MAKE SURE CONTAINER IS CLICKED SHUT, TO KEEP THE LOG DRY.
