Geocache Description:

Introduce The Scout's To Geocaching

When - Saturday February 25th 2017
Where - Devil's Bit, Co. Tipperary
Time - 10.30am

Come and join Geocaching Ireland and introduce the Scouts from Thurles to Geocaching! The event will take place in the Car Park of the Devil's Bit looped walk (Event GZ) at 10.30am and finish at 11am. During the event we will give the Scouts a brief history of Geocaching and how the game is played. We will provide informational handouts and have examples of the various containers used for Geocaches, as well as some examples of some GPS receivers.

A walk will take place after at 11am around the Devil's Bit Looped Walk where the Scouts will put their newly acquired Geocaching skills into practice! The walk is optional and everyone is welcome to join.

The walk is a loop and starts and finishes at the event coordinates. The walk is approximately 6K in length with approximately 280m accent, and will take around 3.5 hours to complete.

The walk is mostly easy going however there are small elevation increases in some places. We will be out on the open mountainside so you should have walking boots, warm clothes, wet gear, water and food with you.

No dogs are permitted on the walk for safety reasons.
