Geocache Description:


This trail follows the path of the Tollcross burn from a point close to it's beginning near Bargeddie, all the way to the Clyde. Surprinsgly, 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 5th cache is in the middle of the Early Braes park at a very pretty location with a little bridge over the burn. This is one of the parks you didn't know existed until you walked through it and little information can be found on it but it appears to be very popular with dog walkers. According to maps, the Battle Burn splits from the Tollcross burn here but I've struggled to find it.

Stealth and patience required for this cache as it gets busy with dog walkers, especially with the bridge being an intersection of paths and trails through the park.You do not need to climb the fence or enter the trees
