Geocache Description:

A hidden treasure, but near one of Glasgow's traditional holiday destinations.

Not for the faint-hearted, this is a cache that will have you jumping fences and walls, negotiating boggy ground, fording streams and braving precipitous heights. However, the reward is there at the end. It's about a 2 1/2 hour round trip and you should be prepared to get wet.

***Please be aware of your surroundings at all times and ensure that children and animals are well supervised, especially as you get near to the cache.***

Park at N55 58.911 W004 21.999. You'll appreciate coming back here at the end of your journey. Head to the gate at N55 58.838 W004 21.959. Be careful crossing the road as it can be very busy.
Follow the path and, to be honest, from here on you're on your own. We went one way and came back another - each route presented its own particular problems. Perhaps the easist way is to jump the wall at N55 58.842 W004 22.316. You'll have to get across the burn a couple of times but you'll eventually find a path. Keep the wall on your right side, passing by a little pond, until you get to N55 58.519 W004 23.942. Please be very, very careful as you cross the burn here.

Alternatively, Keep on the main path, crossing a couple of stiles and through the gate at the house. Turn left at the gate at N55 58.883 W004 23.610. There are a few walls, fences and burns to negotiate but try to get yourself to N55 58.552 W004 23.944. Here you'll discover where the cache got its name.

Congratulations, Whatever route you took to get here you are now close to the cache and you will understand why I can't give you precise coordinates.

Now you have to look behind the curtain.
