Geocache Description:

Summary
The third wave of the Blackrock Power Trail heads from the West Pier of Dun Laoghaire Harbour south-east for 2km to Sandycove Beach. Cache 20 is at the picturesque People’s Park bordering Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove.

The Blackrock Power Trail Series (BRPT)
The series started its life in Idrone Terrace on Dublin Bay behind Blackrock Village and has now spread both north-west and south-east from the original Cache.  Caches range from an easy 1/1 D/T through to the hardest being a 3/4.

The rules of Geocaching are such that no cache can be within 160 metres (0.1 miles or 528 feet) of another cache... so you will find that the caches in this series are generally about 200 metres apart from each other.  There are also some other caches along the route that you may want to pick up as you go.

The Cache
The 20th cache in the BRPT series takes you to People’s Park at the edge of Dun Laoghaire.  Looking at the fountains and flower beds it's not obvious that this was once a worked-out quarry. There is a great children’s playground here for the geo-kids and an extensive Market on Sundays.  You are also close to the top of The Sandycove Promenade with the famous Teddy’s Ice-cream waiting to tempt you. 
This cache was previously located inside the park, however renovations forced its replacement and it is now accessible only from outside the park - although of course that shouldn't deter you from visiting this pretty park!
After complaints from folks who have DNF'd this I have increased the difficulty rating slightly, but it shouldn't be too difficult as the container is easy visible to someone at the GZ standing on the pavement.

Good hunting!
