Hello Folks,
I just got home from a hiking holiday around Glen Coe in the Scottish highlands and I'm happy to say I found my first 9 geocaches ever, a few of these took me to some amazing places that I wouldn't normally have seen. I'm definately hooked now, I'm away to do some local ones tomorrow:).
If any of you are ever up in the highlands I would highly recommend the cache "The Death of Power". One of the most interesting hikes I have done with some amazing views and a huge dam in the middle of nowhere.

Hi slorach,

Welcome!

I have the 'Death of Power' on my watchlist and received your log today. Its on my 'To Do' list and every log wets my appetite more and more!

Its one of Billy Twiggers, who is sadly no longer with us, but appears to have been a prolific placer of classic caches! Hoping to do this one and a few of his other placings when I get to the 2010 Mega Event.

Keep caching!
