Bring a very bright torch and go to the posted coordinates where you will find a large bird box and a diamond shaped reflective marker. From here look west and you should be able to find the first reflective marker to get you started on the trail towards the cache which is approximately 0.3 miles / 0.5 km away. You will not be able to see every marker from the previous one but it should be fairly obvious which direction you need to walk in to stay on course. The final location is marked by a diamond just like the starting location. This area can be muddy after heavy rain so suitable footwear is essential.
Bucksburn Valley consists of an area of broad-leaved woodland and neutral grassland with the Bucks Burn running through most of the site. There are also a few very small areas of rock, bracken and a pond. The north end of the area starts along Howes Road on the edge of Bucksburn and the site follows the burn, almost reaching Kingswells. A number of birds feed and nest along the stretch upstream. Burnbrae Moss is an area of mainly wet heath and gorse shrub on the north side of Kingswells. There is also lush pasture and neutral grassland, with a very small area of planted broad-leaved woodland. Most of the site is grazed by livestock. These habitats support a good diversity of plant species and the Bucks Burn flows along the southern edge of the site. The Bucksburn designated site forms part of an important linear habitat through farmland and housing.
