The walk to the cache takes you along a section of the Western Way
trail into the Sheeffry Hills.
From the carpark follow the track signposted for the Western
Way. Cross the fence using the timber stile at reference point
"Western Way Sign". At this point you will need to cross the
Glenlaur River before heading for the cache. Depending on the route
you take to the cache there are fantastic views north to Croagh
Patrick and south to the Partry Mountains.
The altitude difference between the car park and the cache is
510m. Proper waterproof walking boots and gaiters are required as
there is a small river to cross. Depending on the time of the year
this area can be very boggy.
This geocache can be combined with our other caches
Discover Barnaderg
[GC1M3MA], Croagh Patrick
View [GC1M3M4], Discover
Sheeffry [GC1QTEY] and also squirrel97's cache
Multicoloured Stones
[GC1QTFB]. As a rough estimate, doing all 5 caches could take
up to 6 hours depending on your fitness and experience levels.
Enjoy.
