       Kildanes Walk

       3 caches, 2.5 miles. Park at N 51° 59.674 W 001° 47.815  for the
       walk
       This walk is in an area that means a lot to me, and will forever
       be in my heart. There has been a series of caches along this
       route twice, and earlier this year we saw the demise of it (for
       good?). But I still wanted to share it, because the area is so
       special to me, and it is a nice walk. A couple of hills, mixed
       terrain but lovely views all around! You will pick up #9, #3 and
       #8, in that order, left from the second incarnation of the
       series. The whole route is well marked.
       The walk:
       Park at the above coords. Walk in an easterly direction towards
       the bridleway sign. Turn right, and follow the track up here
       enjoying the views over the valley. Turn right through the gate
       again, up the muddy track next to the wooded slopes. Step over
       the stile, and walk diagonally across the field to the next
       gate. Through there, and walk strait through the next field
       enjoying the views across the Kildanes valley. Turn right up the
       gate, and follow the track. Keep going on that track from now
       on, taking in the brilliant views on your left. After a couple
       of minutes, you'll have crossed through two fields and will be
       starting to descend downhill. There will be a gate on your
       right, turn in, and walk up the slope with the plantation now on
       your right. At the top, turn left through the next gate and
       follow the stone laid track. Go through the gate at the end of
       it, and into the barnyard towards the next gate. Cross that
       field (which could have horses or sheep in it) and follow that
       footpath through more plantation after, and down a sheer slope,
       where you will reach the road after hopping over the stile at
       the end. Turn right, and walk back towards the parking coords.
       A nice little walk ;D
