Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not the final location of the cache but are the site of a map. There are three maps at this location - only one of them has the requisite information. From the final cache location you will have a picture postcard photo opportunity of one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. Bring your own pencil.

*****THERE IS NO NEED TO CROSS THE SAFETY BARRIER TO FIND THE CACHE*****

Knockalla (Cnoc Colbha in Irish) has twin summits of the same
height (363 metere). It is also known as the Devil's Backbone.
Knockalla is the 888th highest summit in Ireland. Knockalla is the
second most easterly summit in the Donegal NW area.


From here you can drive along the coast road for more
spectacular views. Knockalla also has a number of trails suitable
for walking, and two wee lakes at the opposite end of the ridge
from this cache (quite a trek from here but there are easier access
routes, see http://mountainviews.ie/mv/index.php?mtnindex=884)

Cache has a small FTF prize .
To get the final coordinates look at the map. What number is in the name of the caves on the top left hand corner? Let this = A. What year did the Saldanha Frigate sink? Let this number = B. Final coordinates are: N55 11.04A W7 35.(B-1096).

Note: Wheelchair users are able to access the site but may require assistance to reach the cache container.
