Located close to the Lough Salt viewpoint with great views
towards Muckish, Creeslough and Carrigart on a clear day. Lough
Salt Mountain towers over the deep and moody narrow lough and
provides a fantastic viewpoint for the fit and adventurous.
Getting There
Follow the N56 North from Letterkenny and follow the sign posts
at N55° 02.151 W007° 47.022 to approach along the back-road
from Kilmacrennan to Carrigart. The road is narrow and twisty so
care is required. If you miss the turn there is another approach
from N55° 03.131 W007° 49.259. Park at the rough car park
at N55° 04.919 W007° 48.629 and cross the grassy hummocks
or approach via the road and a bog-track.
The Cache
A medium sized ammo box painted black with geocaching stickers
on the exterior. Although the hiding spot is difficult to discover
accidentally please take care to ensure that the box is completely
covered before leaving.
