Geocache Description:

Before we start, Please.‘replace’ cache exactly as you found it and if necessary throw a few dead leaves on top to make sure its not visible, Thanks.


The cache, a tube is hidden in Belleek woods which is situated along the west bank of the river Moy north of Ballina town, Belleek Bhéal Leice meaning "mouth of the flagstones.
To get here from Ballina follow the directions to Belleek castle hotel until you find yourself at the car park waypoint.
From here on foot head down the slope towards the river on the main path which begins at the opposite end of the car park to the main entrance, the path soon turns to the left and is pretty straight from there on. Continue down the main path along the river past the duck pond, up a small hill and onward till you get to a ‘pair’ of picnic tables not a single table. underneath a massive old beech tree on your left. There is a marker there with the number 20 on it, turn left here and follow this new trail as far as a clearing with a very large ring fort in it & the Knox Gore monument perched on top. There is an information panel here if you are curious about it.
The cache is hidden a little bit further on the same trail (15m from info panel) in Ivy at the base of a very tall Norway Spruce ‘right’ on the edge of the path.
I’m pretty sure it’s a Norway Spruce but I would appreciate being corrected if I’m wrong also same thing with my co-ordinates, Its hard to be 100% sure under trees, thanks

.

Please RESEAL the container properly & put a few leaves on top to hide it well !
