Comments:

We parked on the yarrow valley car park and I'll rate it based on our walk back, there is a largish kissing gate between two and a half and three feet wide with plenty of depth the paths start as hardpack but after a gate it is across a field. There's a stile to cross, a rough single track road, and the cache is as per the clue. I don't think it's one for less abled cachers unless you can find closer parking but the final decision is as always yours Hope this helps.

Cheers

Schnuz.

Parking available very close by.  Well defined gravel path on route to GZ.  

There is a kissing gate to negotiate and assistance may be required to retrieve the cache for shorter cachers.

Comments:

Safe, legal road parking aboout 250m away. 

Nice, wide, well defined Public Footpath to GZ.

Stile to negotiate close to GZ.

Reaching the cache may be a bit of a stretch for smaller cachers.
