Geocache Description:


The first in a series of caches along the Devil's Bit Loop walk. Look out for the Bonus Cache clues in some of the caches :)

Driving from Templemore or Borrisoleigh the carpark is fairly well sign posted. The final stretch of road is narrow and quite steep so you will need to drive slowly and be wary of cars or even tractors coming the other way. There are a few passing points.

Legend has it that not only did the devil take a bite out the mountain but he broke a tooth while doing it, which now stands as the Rock of Cashel. The 5km loop on sandy lane-ways, forestry tracks and hillside paths is signposted with purple arrows. It doesn't ascend to the summit however there is a spur track leading to the top. The loop takes approximately 2 hours to complete and is suitable for walkers of average fitness levels. Make sure to have hiking boots, rain gear, drinks and a mobile phone with you. Some parts of the walk can get slippery and muddy in wet weather.

Mobile phone signal is reasonable around the loop walk, however it can be patchy so I would recommend downloading cache information beforehand. I would also recommend following the loop in a clockwise fashion once you get to Carden's Folly - it's a little easier going and the purple arrows are more obvious that way.

This cache: An unusual container so use the hint and please BYOP. You will need to go off the main trail a small distance, please be respectful of the area and the keep in mind that Coillte promotes the Leave No Trace outdoor ethics programme as the code for recreation users of all its forest properties. Please follow the Leave No Trace principles as outlined here (visit link)
