Geocache Description:

A scenic walk around Oughtmama

The loop is approximately 9km, with an elevation change of 360m. It should take approximately 3.5 hours plus any time you want to spend for lunch or taking photos on the route. The terrain is a mixture of green lanes, animal tracks and cross country. Never assume that moss has rock beneath it - there are many grikes in the limestone. The usual gear applies - sturdy walking boots, waterproofs, rucksack, fluid, snacks, mobile phone. To download the GPX file of the route we took click here.

Please respect the Burren Code, see photo in gallery. Do not remove stones or climb on stone heritage.

This cache is a PET preform container. Doing this cache on its own should take a little less than 1 hour. Otherwise move on to Oughtmama Loop #2 - Slieve Oughtmama.

We hope you enjoy the walk and are successful with all 7 caches :-)
