Geocache Description:


The Ramparts is a walkway which follows the course of the River Boyne and the old Boyne canals (in places) Ultimately the intention is to have a walk/cycleway the whole way from Navan to Drogheda however this is a long way from fruition

The existing sections are as follows;

1) A hardpack track starting in Navan and heading east towards Slane (there is an older series of caches along here)

2) A hardpack track starting in Slane and heading east towards Drogheda (there are 3 older caches along this section)

3) A grassy trail leading from Slane back west towards Navan (this series of caches is along this section)

 

If you park at the carpark coordinates at the Slane Bridge on the N2 you head towards the weir following the trail the whole way following the River Boyne. This is a completely flat walk along a grassy trail. When the series was placed (in the midst of a summer heatwave) the terrain was dry and easy but I cannot say what it will be like when the weather is less pleasant This is a linear walk so remember for every step you take you must return by the same route  

The cache name refers to the feature at GZ rather than the container type  The cache is a small tupperware container containing log and pen but best to byop just to be on the safe side. The cache is near the pillbox but is not hidden inside or in the walls. Please replace the cache and it's camo exactly as found

For now this is the last cache in the series, there are possible access issues just beyond this point. The series may be extended at some point in the future if I can establish whether the trail beyond this point is open to the public
