Geocache Description:

If you come at the right time you might catch a camogie game. Congratulations J-R.A.C.E for FTF.


Camogie is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic and Irish origin.The game has prehistoric origins, has been played for over 3,000 years, and is considered to be the world's fastest field sport. Camogie is played by females and hurling is played by males.  The pitch you will see is a training ground  for St Galls, the club has been going for over 100 years.

The Bog Meadows is one of the few remaining wildlife sites in the city of Belfast. In 2000 Belfast City Council designated the area as a Local Nature Reserve. Besides people, some of the animals and plants that you may discover include the reed bunting, frogs, snipe, rabbits, mallards, pipits and cinnabar moths as well as common spotted orchids and bulrush.

Animals and plants love the Bog Meadows because of its many habitats including swamps and marshes, grasslands and meadows, open water, shrubs and trees.  The site's 50 acres (20 hectares) is already so packed with wildfowl that there are active territorial disputes over nesting grounds.

This unique site has ensured its recognition by UNESCO which has awarded the reserve a Man and the Biosphere Urban Wildlife Award for Excellence.

The cache is located about 30m from the path, close to the fence surrounding the camogie field.
