Geocache Description:

The 5th wave of the Blackrock Power Trail starts at the back of Dalkey Village and meanders down Coliemore Road and onto Vico Road --- all the while giving cachers magnificent views over Dalkey Island and Killiney Bay.  There is easy access to this part of the Power Trail from the Dalkey or Killiney DART Stations.


The Cache
The 40th cache in the BRPT takes you to a set of stairs known as THE CAT'S LADDER that ascend several hundred steps from Vico Road all the way up to Torca Road at the top of Dalkey Hill. But you only need to climb the first 13 steps to reveal a spectacular view!

You are looking for a small camo bag with goodies inside.

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.
