This cache lies in Glen Lyon Park Holywood. It can be found in the shadow of the highest tree house I've ever been in!
Glen Lyon is approximately eleven acres of woodland set along the steep banks of the Twistle Burn close to Holywood Town Centre. I grew up close to the glen and before the paths were constructed in the 1980's an adventure down here felt as if you were miles away from civilisation. It reminded me of a Tarzan movie only colder and with sticklebacks instead of aligators!
A visit to the tree house was always much easier on the way up (I'm guessing about 100ft), once at the top there were great views over Belfast Lough, however the descent was always terrifying. I always remember promising myself that if I got down safely I would never climb it again....
The cache itself is a micro contained inside a camo container. Access to the cache does not require any tools, deconstruction, pulling or hauling etc, all you need to do is locate the self contained release mechanism and activate gently.
There is parking off the Church Road, you will see the Glen Lyon sign. On entering the glen turn right and head up stream there are two paths going this way...take the high road or the low road, either will lead you to the bridge. Now before I start getting pelters about coords, there is heavy tree cover, so I realise they may not be 100%, therefore via description and hint I'm going to zero you in. On crossing the bridge turn right and follow the path along the river, if you reach the steps you've gone too far!
