Seven Mile Straight Traditional Cache
Gardenweeds: We have taken the decision to archive this cache as we think is getting a bit dangerous to park since the new barrier was put in place. Thanks to everyone who has visited the cache already. There is another cache on the seven mile straight which we think is a lot safer.

This cache is a Magnetic NANO and a quick cache and dash.
Not Wheelchair Friendly and would NOT be suitable for children as this is a very busy road. You can park at the location of the cache off road as it has a good long visibility.
This nano is placed on the Seven Mile Straight. Thomas Moles, motorcycle enthusiast and Member of Parliament, helped to push through parliament the first Road Races Act, which made it legal for the Clady Course to be closed for the first Ulster Grand Prix on 14 October 1922. That first race had 75 entries in four classes (250cc, 350cc, 600cc, and over 600cc. The race has been held on three different circuits. The 20.5 mile Old Clady circuit was used from 1922 until 1939 and included a notoriously bumpy 7-mile straight. It also ran across part of the grass runway at RAF Aldergrove and for the first two years of its existence the pits were on the Seven Mile Straight, by Loanends Primary School.
