A sign that says "Storm Debris" is crying out for a cache and given it is near a stunning beach we had to do it.
The area is fascinating as there is a huge stony bank behind the beach. The beach was created by the huge waves that come in off the Atlantic here. These waves can cause debris to be thrown onto the road and block it and the stony bank was built to try to stop this. Important note, though: the stones on the bank must not be moved and stones must not be removed from the beach.
As such, the cache is not placed in the stony bank or on the beach!!
The beach itself has white sand made up of broken shells. The machair runs parallel to the beach and is ideal for walking. It is a haven for wildlife, such as the elusive corncrake and in the summer months the machair is peppered with an assorted variety of wildflowers, including rare orchids.
The view back into South Uist is pretty spectacular too - with an excellent panorama of the three big tops: Hecla, Beinn Choradail and Beinn Mhòr.
When placing the cache it was a wonderful April day and we parked up to have a picnic to enjoy the view before setting the cache.
When you find the cache, please replace the container exactly as you found it and remember, it is not in the stony bank.
