Portaferry.
A quiet wee town.
Park up, have a wander round, get a cup of tea and enjoy the quiet.
A town where you hear voices, not a babble, where you hear a car, not the whoosh of tyres!
While your here, check Exploris http://www.exploris.org.uk/
And the Gala in July http://www.portaferrygala.com/
The cache is hidden right in the middle of the town.
The Island referred to in the Cache name is not surrounded by water, but is an Island nevertheless!
The Cache is a micro with just a Log, so bring a writing implement.
Now Portaferry is a quiet wee place, but it's not a Ghost Town, so extreme stealth will be required and, as mentioned earlier, this is in the middle of the town, so watch the roads, and hang on to your offspring if you have them in tow.
Alas and alack, we do seem to be having Co-ordinates issues. I've been back several times and my Etrex gives me co-ordinates that seem fine when I'm there, but when I check on Google Earth it seems to put me on the footpath quite a bit away from the Cache!!
Now this is a difficult, sneaky wee git, so in an effort to get the bugger found by someone....... Anyone.....
I'm changing the clue a bit and upping the difficulty!
If anyone does find it, for Gods sake write your take on the Co-ords down and put them in your log!!
FOLKS.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN LOOKING FOR THIS ONE. THERE IS NO NEED TO PULL AND HAUL AT THE FOLIAGE. A GENTLE BRUSH TO THE SIDE WILL SUFFICE
FOLKS HAVE GONE TO A LOT OF TROUBLE PLANTING THESE........PLEASE RESPECT THAT!!
IT'S ONLY A CACHE!!!
