Another of my occasional series of summit caches.
This one is on Slieve Binnian, 747 meters at its highest, and one of my favourites.
The simplest route is to park at the Carrick Little Car Park at N54 07.722 W005 56.588 and then follow the track up the valley to the gate at N54 08.207 W005 56.645.
From here, leave the main track and follow the mourne wall as it heads off in a North Easterly direction up the mountain and follow it all the way up to the summit.
Total round trip on this route is approx. 4 miles.
This can be a very busy spot, so watch out for muggles as you search, especially from above.
The cache was placed with a large stone blocking eyelines to the box, please replace the box and reset the stone, then check to see that no plastic is visible.
This Cache is on the summit of one of the seven peaks in the Mourne Mountains with summits higher than 700 meters, collectivly known as the 7 Sevens.
The caches on the other six are;
Slieve Donard Summit (GC14VR4)
Slieve Commedagh Summit (GC14VRP)
Slieve Braenagh Summit (GC15KZW)
Slieve Lamagan Summit (GC15FJ2)
Slieve Meelmore Summit (GC135C3)
Slieve Meelbeg Summit (GC135CR)
In each of these caches you will find an instruction card containing details which will, if you collect all seven, lead to a bonus cache "The 7 Sevens (GC15M20)" which you will be able to find and log as a reward for reaching all seven summits.
Please make sure you take carefull note of the information, and ensure the card is replaced in the cache with the logbook for the next visitor.
As with all caches in wilderness areas, please ensure you are dressed properly and prepared for all conditions, as the weather can change suddenly.
