Lough Ross Amenity Area
There are picnic tables and a basket ball court located here. There are public toilets but I have not seen them open in several visits. There is a public slipway however jet skis may not be used on the lough. There are ample parking spaces along the shore. It is a popular fishing venue.
The Cache
The cache is secured in place and please do not remove the container, simply open it. There is no pen so bring your own. If you do not have a pen take a photo of the logbook to prove your find. Visits which indicate the log was not signed and offer no other proof of the visit will be deleted.
The cache is a micro container. It is camo'd and placed so that even the highest waters cant get to it. It does blend in well. It was placed using a kayak and swimming in the lough is not encouraged. It would be a long swim too. As with any water based activity there are risks so safety first.
If using a boat for this or other caches on the lough be aware that the lough is quite shallow round the shore and the islands and even using a kayak I grounded some distance from land on many occasions.
It is possible to get the cache from your kayak. It is also possible you will fall into the water if you try. This is designed to be one of the harder finds on the lough so no hint.
Kayak/Boat Hire
I dont know of any boat or kayak rental business that services the Lough.
