Geocache Description:

This is the 8th in a series,, in the places I take my two geohounds, Paddy & Teddy, walking. These places are dog friendly, no livestock (hopefully), no traffic & not too many muggles, as I have found, that since I started geocaching at the beginning of last year, there are limited places that are safe to take boisterous dogs & be able to search for caches without worrying about what they are getting up to!


The cache can be found along the coastal path from Peel towards Kirk Michael. This path is part of the Raad ny Foillan, a walk created to mark the Island's "Heritage Year" celebrations in 1986 and generally follows the coast, passing through terrain varying from shingle beaches at the  Ayres to over 1,400 feet (430 m) high hills and cliffs.

Near GZ is a large rock known as "the stack" jutting out into the sea where cormorants  gather to dry their outstretched wings in the sunshine. There are often seals swimming just off the coast & on a calm day, you may be lucky enough to see basking sharks or even pods of dolphins! Beware of the huge crow who will watch you intently. He doesn't like geohounds!  

Further out to sea on a clear day, you may spot the Mull of Galloway in Scotland & the Mountains of Mourne in Ireland
