Consolation Caches

As a consolation to not finding To Sumit Up (Again!!) we decided to stop off at another cache before heading home. In the end we got a bit carried away and ended up visiting another 4.


First we headed down to the Irvine Beach Park just behind the Magnum, and tackled Irvine Beach Park – Amazing. That was easy and highly recommended for any newbie cachers like us. Then off to  Irvine Beach Park – Enter the Dragon. Sadly this turned out to be a DNF although I'm 100% certain we found the hide but when I stuck my hand in to fetch the cache I pulled out a frog instead. I think they must have heard me scream in Troon!! (not the most dignified thing for Daddy to do in from of his 6 year old daughter!!). Took a snap of the sunset to complete a challenge before heading off.


Next was "Cart" horse ? a beautiful sculpture/statue a the harbour in Irvine. Followed the clue and easily found the cache. Our very first "Nano", wow, so tiny!!!


By now it was dark but as we were driving right past  Fallen, But Not Forgotten on our way home and there was a handy free parking space right outside we pulled over to pay our respects. This is a nice wee memorial garden but at night it's beautiful, the whole garden was in complete darkness with only the memorial lit. Following the clever clue we quickly found the cache.
