Money Doesn't Grow On Trees - Portavoe Reservoir Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

sgtzara: Checked while out doing Neutr0Phil's new series.

With the last 2 x logs being DNFs and no recorded finds since 24/08/14, I feared the worst for this one.

My fears were confirmed, this one is indeed missing.

I'm not going to replace this one as I'm looking to move away from placing and maintaining micro sized containers in favour of small/regular ones.

Well done to all who found this one during its time.

sgtzara.

Geocache Description:

A traditional cache situated within the tranquil setting of Portavoe Reservoir.


Portavoe Reservoir

Portavoe Reservoir is a small and very attractive reservoir which lies on the A2 Coast Road between Donaghadee and Bangor.

It covers an area of approximately 12.5 hectres.

It is popular with fishermen (permit required) but is even more popular with walkers.  There is a pleasant circular walk around the reservoir.  The second half of the walk (the area beyond GZ) can get a little muddy, especially in winter so if you're planning on doing the full walk while you're here, be sure to wear sturdy footwear.

Parking

Free, off road parking is available as per the listed waypoint (N 54° 40.195 W 005° 34.599).

The Money Doesn't Grow On Trees - Portavoe Reservoir Cache

This cache can be found a stones throw from a picnic table located close to the banks of the reservoir. It should be easy enough spotted from ground level ... the challenge of this one comes from retrieving same.

You are looking for a micro sized container containing a log and pencil.

As above, please be sure to leave everything as you find it for the next cacher to enjoy the challenge.
