Description
EN
This cache is one of a series of ten caches set in Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve. Three are on easy flat paths, two on moderately steep paths and the remaining five are on mountain paths which will require appropriate footwear and clothing. Beinn Eighe was Britain’s first nature reserve and has many interesting natural and geological features. The visitor’s centre is open from Easter to October but, if closed, there is a lot of information at the notice boards including various booklets describing the different trails.
Take mountain path from ridge walk (Junction at N57 36.530 W005 19.142). The cache is about 2.5 km up the path at about 300 meters. There are three caches up this path (known as the pony track although I have never seen a pony on it!) Leave the track when you GPS tells you and go round a small lochan, which may almost dry out in dry weather. From the cache site you should be able to see two waterfalls. The nearest is on Ault na Doire-daraich and the further one is on the other side of Loch Maree. Some days these waterfalls are quite spectacular but on the day I placed the caches there was hardly any water in any of the rivers.
