SCOTLAND'S OLDEST GEOCACHE
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 11. 2019
- In this 3rd day of our mega-trip through Scotland, my mother's homeland, we planned to hike to GCF0 - Scotland's First Geocache. It sits halfway up the mountain Ben More, and is no small task to get to. But we, the "Canadian Invasion", organized a meet'n'greet to connect with other geocachers on this day, to make to gz with a team effort. Come and join us on this adventure!
This... this was an experience I wish my mother could have enjoyed.

#Geocaching #Scotland #GCNW
This was really a big adventure!
Without the event, I wouldn't have thought of looking for that cache. But together the search is even more fun. It was a great group and the exchange with cachers from all over the world brought new insights. Special greetings to Belgium and Portugal.
It's great to be reminded of the exciting day with this video. I am very happy to have met the crazy Canadian Cacher and Vlogger.
I hope to see many more videos of you and your adventures. That's what geocaching is all about. Thank you very much.
The GERMAN Geocacher ;)
Master cacher! You made my day with that climb - It was so great to enjoy that hike with you, despite pulling up the rear, haha. You were the star of the show ;) Thank YOU for joining the adventure! Did you get to climb Ben Nevis as well during your visit to Scotland?
That was an incredible journey to Scotland's oldest...wow God's creation is truly amazing. The streams the rain the clouds and even the fog all beautiful. That was cool the other cachers were from other parts of the world. It so neat how geocaching unites us with each other and with nature. You always do such an outstanding job of engaging us (viewers) in your adventures. I've really enjoyed your trip to Scotland and am very touched by the love you have for your mom. Thank you for sharing memories of her in some of your episodes. I would have loved to have met her.
Sorry I missed the premier but I'm glad I have watched the re-run.
It's nice to see something familiar that you have created. I attempted the walk last febuary but the steep slope along with my arthritis got the better of me, 1st time I haven't got up anything. I'm back up again next febuary, would be good to do it in winter conditions. I love Scotland, I've never missed a year going up in 28 years. The clouds rolling in gives a different perspective, you respect your surroundings more. I'm still old skool, map and compass, I've not used a GPS on the mountains after I've seen them pack up due to the cold. I'm pleased you have found Scotland's 1st. Definitely wear goggles, keeps the rain out of your eyes ❤, thanks for sharing your soul, no need to opologise.
It's really unfortunate you couldn't join us for the hike. But I am glad we managed to meet up later on. I like that - you respect your surroundings more. Absolutely! It doesn't hit you, the effect of the cautions until you experience it firsthand. Just like on Ben Nevis. One simple cloud surrounding you seems to close off the entire world, and one wrong step or a few meters in the wrong direction and you could be WAY over your head. And the video doesn't do that environment justice. That spot you could hear all the water and you were surrounded by grass - you really can't see the ground and what you might step into a few meters away.
Amazing experience. Thanks for watching, and for the chats we exchanged before this too!
What an awesome video all the way around. Thank you for taking us with you. You did such a good job with this one I could almost feel me doing the same thing you were. Highs and lows of the climb, rain falling down, clouds dropping the temperature, quiet time, reflecting time. And you are so right about people watching your videos being about to live vicariously through your adventures. That is one of the things I love most about watching geocaching videos - seeing places I will never see in person. The words at the end about your mother was very touching. I am so glad you left those parts in the video. There is nothing like moms. They are the best and are missed greatly.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated! That's my only hope really, that whatever goes into the video is a positive encouragement and experience. It's hard not to be real when vlogging, and sometimes deciding what to include and not is a tough decision. I'm glad it had a good impact. Happy caching! :)
What a fantastic Day this was, I am so pleased we decided to join this great bunch of global geocachers for this epic climb, its a memory that will stay with us for a very long time. Great video and a lovely tribute to your late mother.
Thanks for coming out and being part of the gang! I loved that there were so many non-local people there to enjoy the climb :) (as far as anyone made it at least) Such a great group of people united from around the world. Ah, geocaching :)
Wow! That was terrific. Scotland has such a unique look to it. It's so...green. Creation sure is an amazing thing.
SO green! It's everywhere! Often commented about how the regular mists and fogs drench the land in moisture so grass and moss gets to grow most everywhere with all those hills. It's beautiful!
Wow! Amazing views. I really hope to get there one day!
He never ceases to amaze with the wonderful creation He given us!
Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely!
And I hope you do make it one day. There are only so many countries, and even fewer with an oldest geocache with an experience like this :)
HOLGER! The route to this cache is indeed up a slope, and a non-stop slope. Be ready to CLIMB! And watch your footing - it looks like grassy field, but there are many hidden hazards amongst the foliage.
There are many ways to approach the cache, and no defined trail. Holger and I took a more direct route, while much of the other group continued to hike around the base for a longer but less sloped (but still steep) ascent. Watch for the fog! Don't get disoriented!
One thing you don't get is a sense of the sheer scale here while climbing - not until you see people in the distance.
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to like and subscribe!
And comment below! Have you found the oldest cache in any province/state or country?
Very nice location and video. Thanks for sharing and allowing us to enjoy it also.
Thanks for watching and coming along. It's a beautiful location for a geocache, especially the first in a country :)
Excellent adventure and a great tribute to your mum.
Thanks Paul, maybe you'll eventually get out to this one and find it too :)
So wet and green! Great video. Nice tribute to your mom. :-)
Thanks, it was an amazing experience. And a super crowd of cachers from around the world!
Oldest cache in Scotland, followed by the highest cache in GB... next video! haha
Great. It was a hard hike
And you took the route from farther along trail, yes? It was longer, but it sounded like everyone still thought it was very hard :)
@@cachetheline, yes, it was very hard. In fact, it was the hardest cache I have done. The initial idea was good... longer, but easier. However, when we leave the trail supposedly direct to the GZ, without the need to climb more, it was not the right place. When we arrive at the GZ direction, it was about 200 meters to direction... UP.
Great adventure! So, THAT'S a terrain 1.0, huh? Yeah, totally wheelchair accessible! Loads of beautiful scenery in this one, despite the cloudy and foggy conditions. Glad you had the chance to find this one, and that you seized that opportunity when it arose. At any point during the hike up to the cache, did you think to yourself "what the heck am I doing?" It seemed to be a bit of a strenuous hike up the mountain and the conditions weren't exactly favorable, but oh, to seize that moment! Thanks for taking your viewers along!
Back in the day, those geocachers were intense! Terrain 1's like this, imagine the terrain 4.5! :P
It would have been nice to see farther, but at the same time the fog adds a whole other atmosphere (literally). I was close to thinking that once or twice :) But we pretty much had all day so there was no rush. Holger's pace kept me pushing the limit, haha.
It really looks like plain old grassy hill, but under that grass it was so rough and rocky with crags and holes and spring to avoid, and mud caused a whole lot of slippery spots especially on steep spots. It was nuts! But FUN! :D
Great hike. Nice to see a kiwi there. The low cloud made for a great atmosphere.
haha Yeah, it was a nice mix of nationalities out for the hike :) It was wet, but phenomenal! Thanks for the comment :)
Thanks for sharing. Looks like great fun (but sore legs). Looking forward to more videos and seeing geocaches from around the world.
I was awesome, and thankfully that rest at the cache made a big difference. I think most people had an easier time getting down than going up! :)
What an adventure and what a hike!
To say the least! :) Thanks for watching!
Great place to geocache. Looking forward to our trip to Scotland next year. Thanks for showing us how beautiful it is.
Thanks! Can't wait to see what you're going to experience next year Rick :)
Very nice tribute. A memorable hike for sure and a great cache to get. Too bad it rained but then that is the British Isles.
Yep, come prepared! Thankfully it was never a heavy rainfall, more like some light but constant misting, heh. Definitely ended up taking more effort than expected by the logs and photos. Being there first hand makes all the difference! A worthy country's-oldest cache.
What a great adventure!!! I bet you would not have climbed that hill if there was not a geocache there! Oh the places you will go!!
I’ve been to Scotland. Amazing.
Sorry for your loss. Loosing moms is a hard thing.
Were you in Scotland for geocaching? :) If not, can you imagine all the places you would have (should have!) gone if only you knew? hehe
Actually, I most likely wouldn't (most if not all probably would) have climbed to that particular spot, because the trail to the peak is to the left on that crazy slope. I can't imagine why anyone would go to that cache spot except for a geocache, lol!
I am planning to go for this cache next year. Great to see your video to know what to expect
Excellent! Hope you have much better weather than we did :) Fog I don't mind so much, but it was SO wet. Still what a excellent experience, you'll enjoy it. Overestimate your schedule, don't rush it :)
Fantastic. I want to go back to Scotland again already! Watching this makes me wish even more our group could have stopped. We had to drive right by. We saw you guys standing there. It looked like you were just about to head up. But it turns out a 50-person coach was too big for the teeny parking area. Who would have thought? lol Could have added 21 cachers from the U.S. to that group. It was definitely a soggy day that day. You actually got a better shot of the viaduct at the beginning than I did. The coach's windows were covered in rain when we went by. A really nice tribute to your mom here too. Looking forward to the next one already!
Awesome, yeah if only I'd known your bus went by, I'd have wave, haha! Too bad you weren't able to join. It's a tough call, especially looking back and realizing - the country's oldest was *right there!* :)
But you guys had other amazing experiences, with a very different group dynamic! Yep, next visit, you'll have to get GCF0 ;)
@@cachetheline Yeah, it would have been nice to get an extra event and the oldest, but we had a great time that day regardless. I like that we filmed different things. It gives me some ideas on stuff to check out if I ever go there again!
Thank you for showing me a cache to add to the bucket list. Great video
Definitely worthy of the bucket list! Any plans on visiting Scotland or the UK in the future?
Excellent adventure for a geocache!
Totally!
Quite the hike
Yeah, just a bit! lol
What an adventure! A feeling of accomplishment.
You’re feeding my need for adventure.
lol, mission accomplished! :) It's amazing the stuff that's out there... and we'll never really know what it all is until we actually experience it. The thrill of adventure and discovery, amirite? :) Thanks for watching!
Where you went was amazing! Even though your mother wasn’t there....she was in spirit! And she would have been so proud of you! Thanks for sharing your adventures! Always a treat watching them! Thank You!
Thanks so much, and I know right now the beauty of that place is nothing compared to where she is ;) Still, *sigh*, hehe
It's a wonderful place for a geocache! Great way to represent Scotland
Dude... that looked like it was more intense than all the hikes we did this last summer. Amazing views... when you could see them. That's what caching in the Pacific Northwest is like from September till April. :P
haha, well hopefully we'll be getting some good caching adventures up in there come next year's celebrations :D
@@cachetheline Yeah! We need to plan something!
YAY! Finally watching this video!
THAT WEATHER THOUGH! eew. We hate caching in the rain 😂 At least you found the cache, imagine getting up there and not finding it! 😱😅
That reman guy was a beast! haha
Its cool that you mentioned your mum. Its nice to see the emotions there still. I (Rachel) get the same sometimes. Doing something amazing and thinking of lost loved ones who would have loved it too. Thanks for sharing!
haha what's a reman guy? Holger? Oh German! lol
Yeah it's tough; I'm making so many videos I'd love if she were able to see and enjoy. I have playlist especially for videos she'd have loved the most. Every time I get to a place like this, it still hits me. Thanks for watching. New Zealand is likely to be my next BIG foreign excursion ;)
@@cachetheline OMG PLEASE COME TO NZ! that would be so amazing! Joshua hinted at coming here too! We could do a big NZ road trip and take you to all the best spots! MAN that would be cool just imagine the content!
Oh man you know I would be TOTALLY all over that. If I had another few thousand to spare :P Want to win me a lottery? We can split it with all the GCNW, lol
@@cachetheline HAH all for it! And yeah we understand its super expensive! BUT you won't regret it! 😝
We are on the same way, in August 20 and i feel with you, meter for meter .... But it was really a big adventure, i would`nt miss it. Greetings from Munich in germany
Excellent! I hope you had a wonderful adventure climbing to find that geocache :) Did you have better weather?
@@cachetheline yes we have, and we found it :-)
FANTASTICO
It was, thanks! :D
Amazing. I'm a geocacher too
Awesome! How long have you been geocaching?
@@cachetheline I'm caching two years ago and I have a geocaching channel too. I have 800 caches
I did this last month. I think my legs hated me for about three days!
haha, yes that "hill" could certainly have that effect :) Hope you tune in to watch the premiere with us!
What a time to come to Scotland 😂 are you coming anywhere near Essex?
Unfortunately I didn't get anywhere near east enough for Essex. Maybe next time. My leg south headed to Chichester, but that's about as east I got. Upcoming videos! :) Will have to remember for next time (so much still to visit too!)
