Not too far from our accommodation, this looked like an easy find and great views as a further reward. Then we spent a bit of time looking hard in the wrong place while trying not to get sprung! Happily we realised our mistake and then had the cache immediately! TFTC.
Easy walk and easy find up Calton Hill. Found straightaway - thanks for the cache!
This was the best part of our geocaching day. The views are truly outstanding, and the wet and windy weather did not detract in the slightest. We were asked by an Italian tourist what the reason for the reproduction Parthenon was, and were able to tell her thanks to evilrooster's commentary.TNL coin. Oh, and by the way there is a pen there.
Yes, certainly was an impressive view. Thanks for dragging me up here for a second time. +/- Nothing.
Found by Mary & David from Australia at 1600. Plodded up the stairs to be rewarded with superb views and such amazing monuments. No problems finding the cache. Took 20 centimes coin, left Australian 10c. Our thanks once again to evilrooster.
Lots of tourists (like me), but they probably beileved I was just having a piss...
In: NOK 5 coin
Out: UK 10 pence

Great walk up to this cache. Struggled a little bit with the find, but found it eventually. Cheers!
