Geocache Description:

A simple cache and dash geocache!

A wee bit of history thrown in for good measure.  Enjoy!

 


Ballagan point look out post was built during the 'Emergency' (WW2) to guard Ireland's neutrality (interestingly, this station in fact known as LOP 1)  

The majority of these structures were abandoned when the war in Europe ended in 1945. 

This impressive structure is on private land.  However a really good view can be attained from GZ.  Please note: this cache is not located at the look out post itself. 

Slieve Foye (the highest peak in County Louth) can also be viewed (as can the higher Mountains of Mourne in County Down)

Slieve Foye itself is well worth climbing and certainly requires a fair degree of effort fitness, as it feels much more difficult than it looks, especially when climbed from the Medieval village of Carlingford.

This cache is located at the coastline and is a wee tab lock container hidden under a few small rocks. There is no need to stray onto any private land to locate this wee fella. Also, this cache is not located on the beach.  In fact, It can easily be accessed from the roadside.

Hearty congratulations to Hasamelis on the honour of being First to Find!
