Geocache Description:

Drumtochty Forest.Flat wide woodland paths some steep at times. There are quite high drops along some of the path areas so please watch if you have younger family or dogs. Points of intrest in the area Drumtochty castle. St Palladius church on the roadside and the Drumtochty Sitka.Opposite the car park. It is one of the biggest Sitka Spruce trees in Scotland; Forestry operations are on the go in the woodland so heed the signs where not to enter


Drumtochty Forest and its adjoining neighbour, Fetteresso are the biggest forests in the area between Stonehaven and Banchory. Make sure you have the usual provisions water, snacks, map, gps ,suitable clothing well this is Scotland after all and Midge repellent. With the area being quite dense at times signal can be quite jumpy or in my experience the phone has no signal at all.Tree diseases and pests are posing an increasing threat to our forests and can be spread very quickly from forest to forest on muddy tyres, boots or paws. Please have a look at the link the forestry have asked to be displayed so we can all play our part.

Your either coming to the end or maybe just beginning this series . The quote from Alices adventures in wonderland sums cachers up i think.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Some more quotes from various Alice adventures new or old.

“Begin at the beginning," the King said, very gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”

“Curiouser and curiouser!”

“We're all mad here.”

“Alice:How long is forever? White Rabbit:Sometimes, just one second.”

“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

“If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there”

“I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!”

“How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one minute to another.”

“Yes, that's it! Said the Hatter with a sigh, it's always tea time.”

Cache suitable for swaps this one can be tricky to get too and as i found slippy up slippy down.

 

Just a tupperware container now nothing mad about this cache at all now
