Caerlee Hill is one of those Scottish Borders hills that look to be a mere bump on a map. However, with very little effort, it provides really nice 360° views of the Tweed Valley, Innerleithen and surrounding hills.
If you hare thinking of doing the short loop walk, detailed in my Merrybrae #1 and #2 caches, this would be an ideal and easy filler on the return to Innerleithen.
If you would rather simply go straight for the cache, park in Innerleithen. The public car park is at WP1. Turn right out of the car park then take the first left, marked as a private road. At the end, turn right and, when the road swings left, carry on straight ahead to WP2, the entry to St Ronan's Wood. The track is fairly steep but the final stretch is tarred to a mast at the base of the summit (if you can call it that). If you are cycling, which would not be suitable at the bottom for racing bikes, you will be able to cycle as far as WP3, leaving a mere hop and a spit to the cache.
The top of the hill is the site of a prehistoric fort, a Scheduled Monument of Scotland, so the cache has been placed outside this area. Please take a few minutes more to stroll to the top for the views. It is worth it.
The container has no pen. Please ensure that log and container are well sealed as this can be a rather wet area.
Congratulations to islgkiZebraParade for FTF.
