The Old Newtownards Canal Cache #02 - Hidden Arch Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

sgtzara: Gonna have to let this one go to the great archive in the sky, as mentioned, the 'Hidden Arch' is completely gone and by the looks of things, by the time the new footpath is completed, there's going to be nowhere to hide a cache near GZ.

Thanks to all who took the time to find this one during it's time.

Geocache Description:

A micro cache located close to the Old Newtownards Canal along the Old Shore Road. 

This cache is situated close to the Old Newtownards Canal at one of the old access points to a pathway along the canal at the Old Shore Road.

Unfortunately the pathway is no longer maintained and thus you will be unable to walk along same but the purpose of the cache is to show you the 'forgotten archway' which leads onto the old path.  Many moons ago, my Granda and I would have walked along the old path with whatever Springer Spaniel's he had at the time and on down to The Floodgates where the dogs then went in for a swim.

If travelling by car, if you're prepared to pop two of your wheels up onto the kerb, there is roadside parking close to GZ.

The cache is micro sized and contains only a log so please be sure to bring your own pen/pencil.
