Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the top of Camlough mountain. It is a medium sized tab locked box. this is the first in a series of caches to mark the locations of now removed British Army outlook posts. It is accessible from a number of slopes. It is a steep walk but summit can be reached in 40 minutes.

This magnificent little mountain was off limits to walkers for nearly a quarter of a century until late 2006 when the British army vacated it's summit. The fact that the army spent so long encamped on the mountain is testament to the wonderful views it provides across the Newry valley into Co Down and across South Armagh. The lesser known name for the peak is actually Slieve Gherkin! It provides a similar yet totally different aspect to Slieve Gullion. At present it is a very worthwhile walk because the forest drive around its southern side remains closed to traffic. It can therefore be a very peaceful if not terribly challenging day on it's slopes. It’s easy to see why the army chose this place to keep an eye on things: there are great 360-degree panoramas to be had. Camlough Mountain is the 725th highest summit in Ireland!!!
