Geocache Description:



This is the third in the Howaya Five-0 series. It has nothing to do with the TV programme of a similar name, although some references accidental or deliberate may appear from time to time. The main point is that they are all Dublin based, will be linked in some way to the number 50, and located within 50 meters of the appropriate reference. As yet, I can’t decide how many there might be in this series. I’m sure an appropriate number will come to mind eventually.


The Nine Arches
The Nine Arches, also known as the Milltown Viaduct, once formed part of the Dublin-Dundrum railway line, which opened in 1846 and ran until its closure in 1958.  Having stood as little more than a local landmark for almost 50 years, the bridge resumed its functional existence in 2006 with the opening of the LUAS Green line. If you take a closer look, you will see rows of regularly spaced holes drilled by Irish Army sappers in the 1940s in readiness for the gelignite if invaders approached Dublin.  Happily they didn't and the bridge still stands.

 
The Cache
The cache is a micro, located above waist height.  Bring your own pen, and a tweezers will help with log extraction.
