Geocache Description:


The owls are taking a well deserved rest and the bears have come out to play!

Caches can be split into two routes, especially for little cachers, and both routes roughly follow the red and blue walking routes. All the bears are named after local mines.

Polkemmet Country Park is a popular 68 hectare (168 acre) visitor attraction near Whitburn. The Park offers beautiful woodland and riverside walks, play area, picnic areas with seating and a barbecue facility. West Lothian Leisure operate the golf course, driving range and Visitor Centre within the Park.

Whitrigg mine closed in 1972 and at its peak it had a workforce of 1200 people. Production in the 1940s was 1260 tonnes per day.
