Scottish hilltop bookmarks

There was a request a while ago for a Scottish hilltop cache bookmark list. Well I've set one up here.

I've only added a few - please add to it as you see fit or post here with the comment you'd like and I'll add the cache to the list!

There is a group of caches on Bennachie in Aberdeenshire. They are:

Bennachie Booty- Geoki
Bennachie set no.2- Docdoc
Bennachie set no.3- Docdoc
Hosie's Well- Ben Nevis
In memory of Candy 2- Ben Nevis.

These caches are all at one end of a popular long walk called 'The Gordon Way'. When completed, this will be a 32k/20 mile walk across the Bennachie Range, from Rhynie in the west to the Essons car park (Bennachie Centre)in the east.

At present, it is open from Suie to Essons, a distance of 27k/17 miles.

This can either be tackled as a challenging one day walk or a walk to be undertaken in two stages.

At the other end of this walk is:
Suie Hill Stash- Docdoc.

There are some amazing views along this walk and for that reason i've brought these to your attention.

What a great idea ! Smile

Now I have an office job (i.e no excercise!), I really do want to start tackling long walks such as those with these caches at the end.

Thanks for the lists, those who are adding to it Smile
