Geocache Description:

Going Postal in Crawfordsburn #3

A multicache that begins in Crawfordsburn village. At the given coordinates you will find a pillar box where you can find the information required to work out the coordinates of the cache location.

Parking is available either in the Old Inn car park beside the starting point or at Crawfordsburn glen car park (see waypoint).

 

This pillar box compliments the post office that is now in the shop at the nearby petrol station. The previous post office in the village closed in 1992.

The final location is less than 10 minutes away from the starting point by foot. The best route is via Crawfordsburn glen . I've added a waypoint to show the entrance to the glen from Crawfordsburn village.

Be careful crossing here as traffic can be heavy and fast moving through the village.

Following the path all the way around, passing by 'Crawfordsburn glen cache' and the playground will take you to the final cache location.

The cache is a small container with room for a travel bug.

Remember to make a note of the codes that you find on the cache note or log book to complete the series!
