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 lies about 5 km up the Pony Track from which you get splendid views of the north side of Beinn Eighe.  From Crater Cache descend once again to the path and continue westward.  The path becomes a bit indistinct here and ends altogether a little further on.  The Shelter can be found at N57 36.485 W005 22.440.  I think it is made of corrugated plastic but it is difficult to spot as it is covered in stones and vegetation.  Unfortunately the door is broken but could easily be used as an emergency bothy.  When I was there it contained a stove and a couple of pots.  The cache itself lies at the western end of a group of jagged rocks a little north of the shelter.

From this point it is possible to walk cross country to Conservation Cairn Cache which is just over a kilometre to the north east and from there another kilometre to Lunar Loch and descend to the car park at Coille na Glas-Leitire but this is a long walk and the descent to the car park is quite steep and will be followed by a 3 km walk along the road to get back to your starting place.
