Geocache Description:

Event 1 of Aberdeen's CITO Week - a litter-pick to help improve the area around the top of Broad Hill, a place which gives some of the nicest panoramic views across Aberdeen/the harbour/along the beach.

Event will run from 3.00 - 4.30pm

All litter-pickers & bags will be provided. Please bring gloves if you wish to wear them.

(Event taking place with the kind permission of the Countryside Ranger Service)


A short litter-pick to celebrate the start of CITO Week here in Aberdeen.
Broad Hill is a lovely spot just out of the centre of Aberdeen, towards the beach. It offers fantastic views along the beach & coast all the way north (almost to Peterhead), as well as a great city panorama & across the harbour to the Torry Battery.
If you are lucky, you can also see dolphins swimming in the bay from here.

Unfortunately, as with many popular sites, some of the visitors to them don't seem to like tidying up/taking their litter home and so the hill can begin to look a bit messy.
This CITO event will aim to lessen that, working around the top of the hill and along some of the designated pathways to remove the litter which has collected there.

The event will run from 3.00pm - 4.30pm with all litter-pickers & bags being provided by the Aberdeen City Countryside Ranger Service.

Parking is available nearby, as well as a regular local bus service with stops just beside the base of Broad Hill (see additional waypoints).
