+Krosses Krazy Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Okay one of this years trips to Scotland is Skye. What caches would be recommended for finding those off the beaten track places that are not to be missed? Or any that are just a must to visit? Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment
+duncanhoyle Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Loads of good ones to choose from. Top of the list has to be the Spar Cave - http://coord.info/GC347RC Don't forget a good torch! There a couple of good 5/5s in caves - http://coord.info/GC4MX3R and http://coord.info/GC4MX3C. We didn't find the 2nd one but had a good go at it - very strenuous. There are lots of good earth caches including http://coord.info/GC48GVQ Unfortunately we didn't have time to do any of the mountains or more remote caches. If you want a fun day out then get a boat trip from Elgol and head to Canna. We saw porpoises and dolphins and had a couple of good views of sea eagles near Rum. There's a single cache on the island in a great location - http://coord.info/GC2XYH9 Quote Link to comment
+vw_k Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Not exactly off the beaten track but the Kilt Rock Earthcache is worth stopping off at if you're passing. Quote Link to comment

The inlet is part covered and you'd be cut off but the actual cave stays dry. Bear Grylls did a show on Skye in the last couple of years and they spent a night there. Quote Link to comment
