The site known today as Tubber Patrick, or St Patrick's Well, was originally used by prehistoric communities as a source of water, as well as being venerated by pagan pilgrims looking for medical cures. Later, when Ireland's patron saint passed through the area around 450 AD, he blessed the spring and it became equally important for Christians. Pilgrimages were made to the Well and in time those developed into an Annual Fair held on the last Monday of August with races, etc on the Strand. It was used as a source of holy water by the inhabitants of Portstewart, and locals sold the water to tourists until the 1940's.
In memory of Hezekiah, a man who loved the outdoors, hillwalking and for whom the views on the journey were the most important part of the walk. This series brings those three things together. The caches Alan enjoyed most were the ones that had been well thought out, well researched and brought people to areas of special interest. The caches, as the series title suggests, have to include the outdoors, preferably a hillside or two, but most importantly, include a beautiful view. When in doubt, up is good.
