Geocache Description:

Where
Kinnoull Rangers Hut
When
Saturday 8th October 1 p.m
What
An event to inaugurate the new Kinnoull bench.


Due the generosity of sponsors, P&K council and Big Tree Country ,and fundraising by many others , there were excess monies remaining after all the Mega 2010 expences had been covered . In accordance with our constitution , this was divided amongst charities / organisations benefiting cachers, additionally we wanted to " Give Something Back " to the area which had hosted the event.

The option we chose was to create a permanent record of the first Mega event in Scotland , and to remember the greatly respected cacher "Billy Twigger " (Ewan Rice 1958-2009) who ultimately lost his life following injuries sustained whilst placing a geocache.

The committee of Aitken's Arboretum were approached , and together the bench was funded , its on Kinnoull Hill Perth amongst some wonderful walks and beautiful woodland with a pleathora of caches permission courtesy of P& K council; Big Tree Country and the Arboretum Trust.
