My first target was Irvine New Town Trail #7 which was another new cache and was simple to find. However, there were muggles and duggles everywhere so I had to be patient. Thankfully I found it quickly, getting it back into hiding safely took much longer. Another FTF!
It's a Grand Old National was up next which is a cache I've been wanting to go and find for a while. It's located at the site of an old race course which was where the Scottish Grand National was run until 1965 before it was moved to Ayr. Closed in 1994 the site is now overgrown and appears to be used mainly by dog walkers and off-road motorbikes but the race course is still clearly visible. The cache is a good walk along the track and well hidden in what looks like the remains of a fence (the things they jump over!).
In the middle of the race course lies another cache which is at the location of the old Bogside Colliery. Not much remains here other than some old brick walls and rubble. The suitably named It's the Pits was hidden amongst these remains.
