Greenock / Port Glasgow

We were up in Port Glasgow this afternoon as the girls had been invited to a good friends birthday party. Whilst the kids were having fun me and Mrs SC decided to go for a walk and managed to collect a couple of caches too.

The first of these was rather uninspiring. Located at an old coal depot, a small set of steps led us up from the street to an expanse of tarmac littered with rubbish and rubble and overgrown with weeds and such growing out of the cracks. It was here we found the cache hidden in a section of pipe. There's not much else to say about this one really, although the cache was interesting in that it had an advertisement taped inside it - which is strictly forbidden!! It's ok I won't tell anyone...oops.

Next we headed down to the large Tesco Superstore in Port Glasgow and after a quick sandwich and a drink we went for a stroll along the promenade. This was a nice little walk but was really cold. As usual Mrs SC had forgotten a jacket (she wasn't getting a new one out of me today... I fell for that trick before!) so we didn't go far, just as far as another cache.


This one is hidden at a set of three seats. These are basically great big lumps of marble on which I made the mistake of sitting. The term cold doesn't suffice! Anyway, following the clue we examined each of these and as ever it was the last one where we found the cache... or should I say Mrs SC found the cache (see smug picture below!).

Log signed we dashed back along to retrieve the car and headed back to the party to collect the Kids.
