This is a traditional cache placed at the site of a Wellington
Bomber crash which happened on Good Friday, 1941. The site is
marked with a cross and some debris from the aircraft, now as a
geocache site it is accompanied by a model of the Wellington and an
Ammo Box containing a log book, copy of the Website information,
postcards, toy airplanes and compasses. Although the site is only
1.66 statue miles from Dunree Beach, it is at an elevation of 1,300
feet above sea level through a heavy cover of Heather and rocks. It
is adviseable not to go alone and take a mobile phone so you can
let someone know when you have completed your journey. You will
need to be aware of the tides at Dunree Beach with this link:

It is also adviseable not to take children under ten years of
age as the climb and descent are very physical. The site was
established with the aid of a sixty three year old man and it took
one hour and forty five minutes to reach the cache as we made
several rest stops.
Intermediate waypoints are as follows:
Dunree Beach Car Park: N 55d 11.920m,
Far Beach: N 55d 12.377 W 007d 32.704,

Closest N 55d 13.035m W 007d 32.049m.
The next waypoint is the cache site.
This may seem like overkill but I truly beleive that you will
appreciate each of these intermediate points as you are climbing.
If you use a Garmin GPS you can email me and I will send you a
route with waypoints. The attached photos illustrate key parts of
the climb. Judgement should be used regarding the food and liquids
that may be taken on this journey.
