Going Postal in Seahill #1
A 2 part multicache starting off in Seahill. At the given coordinates you will find a post box where you can find the information required to work out the coordinates of the final cache container.
The final container is located close to an area of woodland that is the site of a former World War 2 Prisoner of War Camp. This camp contained Italian Prisoners and had guard personnel in 3 other nissen huts on top of the nearby hill. The original cache was designed to allow the cacher to explore this area but unfortunately the woodland has now been gated off .
Other P.O.W. Camps were located at places such as Dungannon, Cookstown, Omagh, Portadown and Gilford.
The layout of the Seahill P.O.W. Camp appears to have been 2 groups of a total of 12 huts in 2 stepped rows of six. These huts were surrounded by barbed wire which was secured to old wooden railway sleepers.
In the woodlands, the concrete foundation bases of the huts are still present as well as the marks of barbed wire in trees and the old railway sleepers.

Cache
I've included a waypoint for a parking spot where you can leave you car after you have gathered the information from the postbox. From here you can enjoy a short walk to ground zero.
The final cache container is a micro in a small sized camo containing a log book only.
Remember to make a note of the codes that you find on the log sheet to complete the series!
