Geocache Description:


The Area

Located at one of the most scenic viewpoints along the Ring of Kerry, overlooking Dingle Bay. On most days it's possible to see Rossbeigh and Inch Beaches, the Dingle Peninsula and the Blasket Islands. Most tourist buses stop here. The area is known as "Mountain Stage" because the highest station of the railway line that ran to Cahersiveen was located nearby (towards the Glenbeigh direction).


The Cache

A standard tab-lock box a short distance away from one of two parking areas. The site is along a busy road so please be discrete when retrieving and replacing the cache.
NOTE: There is a *short* well-defined and maintained path to the cache. No need for bushwhacking or getting scratched!


The Series

This is the 6th cache in the "Pit-Stop Series". These caches will be located at picnic areas on main travel routes around Ireland. The series is planned to break long journeys and provide a list of interesting, unusual or pleasant places to stop and spend 5-10mins. The cache is a bonus!

If you want to set-up a "Pit-Stop" cache then email dino-irl through his profile and he will add your cache to the Bookmark List.

To qualify for addition to the series the cache should be:

  • at an interesting, unusual or pleasant place to stop. This would usually be a picnic stop but doesn't necessarily have to be one.
  • accessible in ordinary clothing (usually a Terrain Rating of 1 or 1.5)
  • named using a standard template: "Pit-Stop Series": "Road Name" "Location"
