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.

The 'Drink Me' potion is a magic liquid in Wonderland that has an unusual effect to make the drinker shrink in size.

When Alice finds that she can't fit through the little door to get into the beautiful garden because she is too big, she noticed that a glass bottle with a paper label that says "DRINK ME" tied around it has magically appeared on the table. Alice wonders if it is safe to drink or not, as she thinks to herself, "If one drinks much from a bottle marked "Poison", it is certain to disagree with one, sooner or later." However, the bottle did not have the word 'poison' written on it, so Alice drinks every last drop of the bottle's liquid and finds that it tastes absolutely delicious (it had a flavor of cherry tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast, all mixed up). She then finds herself shrinking down to only ten inches high after drinking from the bottle.

Please dont drink anything that you dont know the contents of its not recommended.
