Geocache Description:


Another cache on the Water of Leith, part of the Water of Leith cache series. A quick and easy puzzle cache starting in what used to be Colinton Railway Station.

All you have to do is decrypt the code beneath and it will lead you to the cache location. The posted coordinates are for parking and your start position.

Due to the cache size, only a small log book can fit in it, so you will need to bring your own pen or pencil. The cache is a small film canister camoflaged sufficiently to blend in with its surroundings.

Please do not post any hints on where the cache is or what the decryped code is. Also, Please put the cache back EXACTLY where you found it. It has been moved several times now, and due to the place where the cache is hidded being very, lets say 'repetitive', even moving the cache half a metre can result in the cache being very tricky to find. If you leave it as you found it, it makes it much easier to find for the next cacher.

If you are having trouble the clue should tell you exactly where it is. You will have to look quite hard, but if you think about it very simply, the cache should be quite simple to locate...

Update March 2009: Colinton Station now has a sister cache (Craiglockhart Station)!!

Update April 2010: Colinton Station now has another sister cache (Morningside Road Station), now forming a series!!
