Geocache Description:


Dear Geocacher,

Introduction and significance

   This Geocache was placed by Duke of Edinburgh team 'Geocrackers' (1) (2) as part of thier Gold Expedition. Named after one of the Leaders, Fergus is a volunteer in the ACF and has been a youth leader in this local community for a long time. His support was essential to the running of the expedition and we sincerely appreciate his effort. Thank you Fergus for your time and effort, and to you dear Geocacher we hope you enjoy this little cache. Made from a small tupperware container with a notepad inside as a logbook, this Geocache is clear with green detail.

Terrain

   This Cache was placed on the fourth and final day of a (rainy) expedition. We camped at Ardentinny Beach and the hike to the location took us about 90 mins, as we were carrying injuries by this point in the expedition. You might be able to do it in about an hour. The trip there is tough with constant uphills if you travel from Ardentinny Beach, and a hike through some overgrown tracks if you select the North route.

Maintainence

   This cache remains the responsibility of Yui907, who will continue to liase with local elements for basic maintanence, and will visit biannually to conduct checks.

Emergencies

   Signal will be poor if you can get any at all, our escape route was to break North East onto the hard road and signal for help from there. Best chance for signal would be to head back to Ardentinny Beach. Our instructors gave us satellite trackers with a 'panic button' feature for calling for rescue - we think that was a good idea.

Yours sincerely,

The Geocrackers - Jay, Josh, Ciaron, Jelly, Matt and Sean
