Expedition

We were staying on Shuna in a holiday let, so we took a small boat across to the marina at Craobh Haven and set off on foot. We didn't have a clear route: Open Street Maps and the Geocaching maps weren't giving an obvious path, and the satellite views weren't very helpful. We followed the road up until we spotted a small path into the undergrowth leading towards the ridge that houses a geocache, https://coord.info/GCVQDA. The path was very overgrown and vague in places, and on the edge of some pretty vertiginous cliffs. We reached the cache and logged it, and carried on south-west and uphill towards the geohash location. The hill topped out and the terrain was then thick bogland with small bushes and marsh grass. We weaved through this for a few hundred metres, crossing a couple of ridges, and downhill to an anonymous spot that were home to our coordinates. We arrived about 14.30 BST.
