Geocache Description:

The cache is a small container, Camo'd and hidden off Cadgers Road. Car Parking coordinates for 1-2 cars are provided.

The path is grass and stone and while at the lower levels is not usually muddy, nearer the top it can get a little boggy. Sheep graze freely on the hill side so be aware of livestock when walking.

Cadger's Road (or path) is so named as it was the route Herring fishermen from Omeath used to bring their catch to Dundalk.

A spoiler photo is provided.

The Cache coordinates bring you to the first stage of the multi. Once you have all the stages you will be able to calculate the final coordinates. It will be about a 4.5km round trip from the parking coordinates.

Stage 1
You will be at a Louth Co Co Road Sign. Count the number of vissible wheels on the three vehicles (ignore the spare tyre). Let this number = C

Stage 2
You will be at an ESB pole with a silver metal place with 4 numbers on it. Call the top two numbers BE and the bottom two DG.

Stage 3
You will be a point in the road when two concrete strips run across the road. Both will have the same number on them. Let this number = FA

The Final coordinates are found by the forumla

N 54 04.(A-3)(B-1)C W 6 1(G+8).(D+1)(E-1)(F-1)
