Geocache Description:

A pleasant walk hidden away,  just off the Helen's Way portion of the Bayburn Trail.

This loop trail will take you through woodland, opening up to a grassy path through brambles, gorse and Christmas trees!


I've suggested some waypoints for following this trail.

The starting point is an unlocked gate on Helens Way just  beside the main Ballyrobert Road. Heading towards reference point 1 should keep you on the right path.. Once you've found the cache continue to reference point 2. This should take you to a grassy clearing, where there is a large shelter with some abandoned matresses and remnants of a campfire. At the waypoint you can turn right to link up to the path you came in by. Alternatively , if you're feeling adventurous, you can go straight on to exit by crossing the river. This is sometimes shallow enough to wade through. This way out also means climbing over a locked gate.

I'd advise sturdy waterproof footwear as the trail can be muddy and slippery in places.

The cache itself is a regular sized camo containing a micro cache with logbook and pencil. GPS may not always be accurate due to tree coverage at the final location.

Hope you enjoy!!

Congratulations to BaseOverApex on getting the FTF!
