Geocache Description:

This is a regular geocache placed near a bus shelter in Kiltale, County Meath... although the actual address where the cache is placed is Boycetown.


I used to use this bus shelter often when I was younger to travel from Kiltale into Trim for school. It used to be served by buses travelling between Dublin and Trim/Athboy but today only school buses continue to stop here.

The village of Kiltale, with a population of about 300, has a church, a school and a petrol station. Kiltale literally means 'Church of Taile'. The origin of the name Boycetown is a mystery - I'd love to know if you have any ideas! GZ is just over 7 km from the historical seat of the High Kings of Ireland at the Hill of Tara. Just down the road there is also the European Union Food and Veterinary Offices and Grange, Teagasc's Beef Research Centre.

You are looking for a small to regular-sized camoflauged cylindrical container with room for a few swappables and trackables. Please take care not to disturb the people who live near the bus shelter, be careful when parking because the road can be very busy and replace the cache exactly as found. Also watch out for drive-by muggles who may be wondering what you're up to, so speed is of the essence! Happy caching!
