Geocache Description:


Garvagh Forest

Covering over 200 hectares, Garvagh Forest is situated on the Western outskirts of Garvagh, with trees from over 80 years old to those only planted at the turn of the Century. The multi is a circulair walk of about 4 miles. The whole multi will probably take between 2 and 3 hours.

The Multi

The start of the multi is at the given coordinates. Approach the coordinates from the car park following the river (east). At the coordinates you will find a medicine box.

Make a note of:

(1) The Color; this will direct you to the next junction where you will find the next container (see color code).

(2) The Meds Time; make a note at which times the color cards indicate. You will need this information for the final location.

The containers at junction 1-3 & 7 will be found just before you arrive at the juction. The container at junction 4-6 will be found close to a waymarker at the juction

The Color Code

YELLOW=LEFT / PINK= STRAIGHT ON / ORANGE=RIGHT

At every junction on the trail you will find a container with the color for the next direction. This will only be at junctions of the main forest trail. Ignore any wee trails.

The Final Cache

At the 7th container you will find the code to decipher the information found at the different junctions to find a number for each junction

The final coordinates are: N 54 58. (J1) (J2) (J3) W 006 41. (J4) (J5) (J6)

The final container is a small tablock container with room for swabs.
