A cache named for my oldest grand-daughter close by a recognised path a mile or two from the southern end of the Cowal Way (http://www.cowalway.co.uk). This area is staggeringly beautiful and is part of Argyll's Secret Coast (www.argyllsecretcoast.co.uk). The waypoint coordinates take you to a seat - and to get there, park by the start of a mile-long track at 55°52'15.0"N 5°17'26.2"W. Walk down the track (great views and other caches along the way) to the isthmus at (55°51'18.5"N 5°18'15.9"W). Then go in the general NNW direction towards Portavadie marina. The best path to follow in all seasons is to walk west, across a grassy field used by the 1st Glasgow Boys’ Brigade (the very first company ever), over a burn, bearing left towards a col in the direction of Tarbert; you’ll pass another small seat and some ruined buildings in trees on your left. Two sections of duckboard take you up to the col and there turn right at a signpost with a blue arrow. A few hundred metres along that path (which beyond the cache would lead to a lovely standing stone) you will come to a seat (= the waypoint) which I built many years ago and recently refurbished.
At the waypoint seat, facing Arran, you will see a small, solitary pine tree 45° to your left about 40m across some tussocky grass (take care you don’t twist your ankle). The cache is at the base of the tree; please replace as found. The ratings reflect the mile-long walk from the main road and then a grassy path.
You could alternatively access it from Portavadie along a path that starts at the erstwhile site of the accommodation block for the ill-fated oil platform yard of the 1970s (see ‘Inga’s cache’ GC7W7X2).
The cache is a small screw-top container. Please bring your own pencil/pen.
