Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden near the Maysfield section of the paved Laganside cycle path. Convenient parking is available at May's Meadow, but there are not likely to be any free spaces during normal office hours. Alternatively, there is a car park further away in the Gasworks (note, it is not a free car park, and the gate providing access to the Laganside cycle path is only open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.) or in the (expensive) Hilton multi-storey car park. The cache is wheelchair accessible.

The Laganside cycle path

The Laganside cycle path is part of the National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 9 and links the Lagan Towpath to the Belfast Lough Cycle Way (NCN Route 93).

With over 500,000 recorded visits a year, the 12-mile Lagan Towpath connecting Belfast with Sprucefield (Lisburn) qualifies as the most popular public pathway in Northern Ireland.

During 2006/7 works undertaken in partnership with SUSTRANS on the Edenderry, Drumbridge and Lambeg sections of towpath have widened and improved the surface to NCN standards, wherever practicable.

St. George's Harbour

This cache gets its name from the apartment block on the Lagan river bank near the Albert Bridge. Next to the apartments is a quaint little harbour with an picturesque lifting bridge which is crossed by the Laganside cycle path.


The MournesRambler II Series

There are currently 24 caches in the MournesRambler II series which is designed to lure you away from the bright city lights along the Lagan Towpath:

The recommended mode of transport for this series is a bicycle, but it should also be quite feasible to complete it on foot. Have you found them all? If you have done them all one after the other please let us know (in your log entry) how long it took you so that others will know roughly how long it might take them.


The "St. Geo's Harbour" cache

The cache itself is a nano containing only a log book, so please bring your own pen/pencil.

The cycle path is frequented by muggles (especially at the start and end of the normal working day) so please use stealth when looking for and re-hiding the cache.
