Geocache Description:


Welcome to Hillsgill Knowe, an area of woodland off the B7016 between Libberton and Biggar. Primarily made up of pine trees, there are pockets of deciduous trees scattered throughout the woodland. It is frequented by dog walkers and a circular route can be formed from a faint path. There are 9 caches forming a circular route of about 1.5 miles. Path conditions are soft are the time of placing so please ensure you wear appropriate footwear. You may spot deer as you make your way around the series of caches here.

This cache is a decent sized container. Please note that there is are two additional waypoints available here. WP1 represents where you should leave the main path to start the loop and the second waypoint is an access point into the trees where you can access the cache. Please ensure the cache is covered well once you have signed the log.

Update 18/10/24: I was browsing some old maps of the area when I spotted this pond marked on the map as a curling pond (Archive of map) which kind of makes sense given the shape.
