Geocache Description:

Before we begin let us make you aware that the GPS signal in this glen is rubbish, so your geo-senses will need to be good. We’ve added spoiler pictures to each cache (except for dragonstone) as an aid in your mission, and we suggest you download these into your phone, or tablet, before you leave home.


Your battle will take you around the paths of the magical Pucks Glen. Some of the tracks are quite narrow and have some steep steps so if have young children or dogs with you please take care.  The route is uphill until you reach Horn hill, after which it all flat or downhill through forest and woodland tracks.

We strongly suggest you start your mission with Dragonstone as some of the caches along the first part of the route contain words which will, once you find the Dreadfort (field puzzle), provide you with an extra clue.

If you are travelling across on the ferry, please look at their page first as it provides a list of ticket agents where you can purchase tickets for almost half the on-board price http://www.western-ferries.co.uk/ticket-agents

 

Dragonstone

Dragonstone is the castle which stands upon the eponymous island located in Blackwater Bay. It’s the ancestral seat of House Targaryen and was the stronghold of a cadet branch of House Baratheon.

At the time the series begins, it was held for King Robert Baratheon by his brother, Lord Stannis. The Chamber of the Painted Table is inside the castle. The castle was built using advanced Valyrian stonemasonry techniques, long since lost. As a result, it has many exotic features unique in all of Westeros, including massive dragon-shaped gargoyles. The entire castle is dominated by dragon motifs and reliefs. Unlike the richly-decorated and extravagant Red Keep in King's Landing, Dragonstone is sparsely decorated and has a rough, austere appearance; its function is as a military base, not as a palace.

The castle itself is very strong, due to its advanced Valyrian design, which combined with its isolated location make it an ideal redoubt and refuge - for both the Targaryens and Stannis Baratheon. Because of these features and its geographic position, it is extremely difficult to breach and can be held by a relatively small garrison against a vastly larger force.
