Tollcross Burn Trail 2 Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Lorgadh: This cache appears to have been missing for some time. Would the owner please check this cache and see if it still in place or give an indication of when it may be sorted out. Otherwise it should be archived. If there is no response to this log after 30 days I will archive the cache. In the meantime I am disabling it.

Guidelines:

  • You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.), or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem. You are permitted a reasonable amount of time – generally up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are.

Please DO NOT send an email about this cache in case I don't receive it. Posting a note will ensure your cache does not get archived in error.

Geocache Description:


This trail follows the path of the Tollcross burn from a point close to it's beginning near Bargreddie, all the way to the Clyde. Surprisingly, this burn is not culverted as often as other burns through Glasgow and can be seen above ground quite often, snaking it's way through the east end of Glasgow behind houses and through parks.

The 2nd cache in the series takes you along the bed of the former Monklands canal and is located at the closest point I could get to the Tollcross Burn. The burn runs down towards the Motorway at this point then culverted underneath, coming out behind Easterhouse Train station (with it's own Geocache). The Monklands Canal was once the richest of canals when operating, transporting coal to the city and goods out to the whole world. It's now mostly culverted, running under the motorway all the way into the Forth and Clyde canal.

If you are following the trail from the 1st one, the posted trailhead will take you to the entrance to a path running along the Monklands Canal. The cache is located near a large concrete cap, covering the culverted Monklands Canal. Following the path will take you onto the unused Rogerfield Road or turn back towards the church.
