Ayr - Watchful

It was a lovely day today and being November it was too good a day not to be out doing something so we jumped in the van and headed down to Ayr beachfront to let the kids have a play in the excellent play park there.

After a spot of lunch we went for a wander (the kids had there scooters so they scooted!) along the promenade North towards the river. Checking my phone I spotted that there were a number of caches around the area so we decided to have a look for a couple while we were there. The first we looked for was Watchful BA124 which is at the old dry dock and the location of an old boat of the same name. The cache was really easy to find but only because I've found a number of similar cache containers (very sneaky!) and I spotted it in seconds. Left it in place for the kids to find which didn't take them long either.

Next was a cache just at the other end of the dry dock of a similar name. The Watchful cache is located at a small parking bay at the very tip of the esplanade road, however there has been a huge build up of sand here over the past few years and almost everything is buried. Looking at the recent logs for this one there have been lots of DNFs and after a pretty good hunt we still couldn't find it so gave up and walked (scooted) back along to the van.
