The trail can be muddy, especially where cut up by mountain bikes so waterproof boots are a good idea. This cache is located at a small fording point across the Burn of Day.
The recommended route is to follow the trail from the small parking area across the road from the stables at Bossholes Farm. There is a direct ‘muddy motorway’ used by the mountain bikers but it is more pleasant to follow less churned up tracks following a derelict fence closer to the burn. The trail initially runs next to a fence separating the forest from a field used by the livery stables. At the end of the field, when you get to a junction at N56 58.971 W002 18.950, keep right. There are white plastic tape markers along the trail. If visiting all of the caches you can follow the trail there and back or return from Burn of Day cache via the west bank of the burn.
The ford is popular with mountain bikers and includes a 'suicide jump' down to the water. Lexie always stops here for a drink.
Tree cover is lighter here so GPS signal should be less of a problem.
Recent forestry work has heavily changed the character of the first part of this circuit, what was once a path through dense forest now has open clear felled land on one side. This cache has not been affected by the logging work. A new bulldozed track has been cut through the area, this track bypasses "Looking Down" and "The Ford"
Before a forest visit, remember to clean your shoes, bike, any toys or equipment and your dog too. Just take a moment to brush off any visible dirt, and give everything a good wash. This helps slow disease spread, preserving our woodlands now and for future generations. http://scotland.forestry.gov.uk/keep-it-clean
