Geocache Description:

Forested area just outside the town of Cappoquin, County Waterford.

Glenshelane is also known as Cappoquin Forest.


There are three different walks marked out at Glenshelane. These are the Red, Green and Navy walks: The easiest, the Navy Marked Walk travels northward from the car park and returns on the western side of the river. It is about 2km long.

The Green Marked Walk follows the same direction to the second footbridge and is for the more energetic walker. It is approximately 3.5km long.

The Red Marked Walk again runs northward from the car park and follows the eastern glen, crossing and re-crossing the Glenshelane River until finally turning south along the public road for some distance, until joining up with the Glenshelane River walk through the 'Black Gate' near Lyre Bridge and the scout site.

Note - the GPS signal will be very jumpy due to tree coverage.

The cache is a camouflaged film canister. BYOP.

WARNING - the cache site is located less than 50 feet from an unguarded river bank - not recommended for unsupervised children.
