Geocache Description:


The Dodder
The River Dodder is one of Dublin’s best known and most important rivers. The river rises in the Dublin Mountains and in its upper reaches it forms a reservoir system which is an integral part of the water supply to Dublin. It flows down through the suburban areas of Tallaght and Rathfarnham and through the city areas of Donnybrook and Ballsbridge before discharging into the Liffey Estuary at Ringsend. The lower section of the river is tidal up to Ballsbridge. There are a number of tributaries draining into the River Dodder with the significant ones being the Tallaght Stream, the Owendoher, the Whitechurch, the Little Dargle and the Dundrum Slang. The Dodder’s surrounding parklands are an extremely important amenity to Dublin and the river is widely used by fishermen and a variety of sporting and recreational interests over its 26 Km long course.
 
Dodder Ramble
This cache is one of a series under the banner of “Dodder Ramble”. Hopefully it will complement the many existing caches along the Dodder and attract Geocachers to take a ramble along its banks and appreciate this terrific public amenity.

The Pipe
As a youngster this metal pipe had a fascination for me and my pals and we spent many hours traversing it back and forth across the river. The possibility off falling off was never considered. Only as an adult does the thought of venturing across scare the life out of me and, try as I might, the imminent fear of death or permanent incapacitation is too strong.

 
The Cache
The cache is a micro containing only the log so BYOP. It is a dangerous place for children so adults please supervise closely. Kindly replace cache exactly as found as the pipe sees plenty of muggle activity especially during the summer. Lots of parking available at Tesco car park N 53 17.897 W006 17.786. By public transport any bus servicing Templeogue will be close: 15, 49, 49a 65b.
 
PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO VENTURE ONTO THE PIPE TO FIND THIS CACHE
