Pollock Park

We had some pleasant weather for a change yesterday so decided to head up to Pollock Park in Glasgow to have a look around, visit Pollock House, and of course to find a few caches.

After a stop for the kids at the playpark and an ice cream we took a wander along to Pollock House stopping along the way to collect Trolls in The Woods. This was easy to find and an ideal one for the kids who did the finding, and replacing by themselves.

Pollock House itself wasn't really worth the visit but since we're National Trust members entry was free anyway. We did enjoy a little treasure hunt they've set up for the kids and the staff were excellent. Afterward we took another wander to find a few more caches.

EagleXtreme 3 - Reach for the Cache was one which we'd expected to be difficult and indeed we spent a while looking in all the wrong places. Finally Super Kid found it in a place I'd already looked and took great pleasure in rubbing it in!

Next up was the 8th in a series but was the next closest cache to us. 8.Finlay's Pollock Park Trail was off the path a fair bit and down a slippery slope so as usual Daddy was despached to risk life and limb going down to find it. Once safely down the slope I soon spotted an obvious place which matched the hint and sure enough that's just where the cache was hiding.

Last of all we had a look for the 7th in the same series of caches but despite a really good hunt we couldn't find it and came away empty handed. There's plenty more caches in the park so we'll be back.
