I only just discovered this from an article in the Herald.
I don't know that anyone was claiming that it was a huge feat of navigation. Finding a box at the base of a cairn on the biggest hill in the vicinity wasn't perhaps the greatest feat of navigation in the world but it was fun for the S&As. Also finding a decent route to the cache does require a reasonable degree of skill GPS or no GPS. It is also not necessarily that easy to find the damn thing when the GPS says that you are on the spot!
In thinking of where I might place a cache I'm trying to think of a place where people might enjoy visiting.
There are also themed caches and caches which lead the geocacher on a journey (thereis a great one around old Edinburgh) plenty of scope for an S & A theme.
