Cowcaddens

I took another quick walk at lunchtime today to collect two more Glasgow City centre caches. This time I headed over Garnethill to the Cowcaddens area.

The first cache I was after was Big Trouble in Little Chinatown which is located near the Chinatown Chinese shopping mall. This warehouse features a traditionally designed Chinese pagoda entrance, built around 1992 using authentic materials which were imported from the Far East. It is at this impressive entrance way that the cache is located and the given coordinates and clue make it a simple find. This area can be fairly busy however not only due to the mall but also because of the proximity of Stowe College. When I visited today there was hardly a soul around so it was easy to have a good hunt and I found the cache with ease.

A short walk from here was my next cache Glasgow's In Bloom which is located at the "Phoenix Flowers". The cache itself was easy to find although careful timing was required to minimise exposure to traffic stopped at two different sets of traffic lights overlooking the GZ. This area was formerly part of Phoenix Park which was destroyed in the late 1950s to make way for the M8 motorway.
