First in a series of three micros based around the Fife coastal path at Balcomie Links Golf Course.
Parking for non-golfers can be found at the Golf Course itself (N56 16.822 W002 35.775) but please be aware that this will cost you 30p - payable at the Golf Shop. Public access to the coast is via the gap in the wall after the Golf Shop - take the path curving down to the right after the flagpoles.
You know how mines are often used as collection boxes? Well, here one has been put to another use - as a shelter. I have no idea how old it is, or whether it was used in the war - that would be ironic wouldn’t it?! It is old and rusty now and falling apart, but it is also covered in assorted plants, including coastal flowers so that it looks quite colourful and content in it’s surroundings!
Cache is a 35mm film can
Weird accuracy thing going on here though - when I took the first few readings I was getting an accuracy of 16ft, however when I walked away a distance and returned, the GPSr was pointing me 50ft away from the cache. Took some more waypoints and averaged both sets out to give the above co-ords. Thought it was strange though as this cache is hidden in the open - no trees or cliffs around!
