Catherine's Christmas Cracker, a multi-cache in Slievenacloy Nature Reserve, Lisburn. Waypoints have been simplified to enable a faster search, about one hour to complete. Note-taking required. Stoned paths to waypoints, some gradients; stout footwear advisable, and there is short off-track walk to the final cache. There is an additional BHP number in the cache to enable cachers to claim the series. The co-ordinates above are for main access and on-road parking.
Slievenacloy is a 125-hectare site patchwork of different types of habitat all blending together, including wildflower meadows, wet heathland and rush pasture. It is managed by the Ulster Wildlife Trust for the benefit of its rich diversity of plants and animals. With this in mind, be aware of cattle grazing on the site, take care not to disturb ground nesting birds in the spring and summer, and please keep any canine geocachers on a lead. Catherine was the enthusiatic warden at the time of placing this cache.
