Geocache Description:


St. John's Point Lighthouse, Donegal is one of 70 lighthouses operated by the Commissioners of Irish Lights around the coast of Ireland and plays a vital role in maritime safety.

This virtual cache is a tribute to the beautiful country of Ireland, which I am traveling for the second time now (Aug 2018).

Logging this virtual cache requires the answers of the following questions per e-mail or messenger and a photo of you or your GPS-Receiver with the lighthouse at background

Questions:

  • 1. Who designed the lighthouse?
  • 2. How high is the lighthouse-tower?
  • 3. In which year converted the lighthouse to electric using ESB utility?
  • 4. At the posted coordinates is a gate with letters. Please write down the letters.
  • 5. At the stage 2 coordinates there are white numbers in the gras. Please write down the numbers.

Have fun and enjoy the great nature around. Beware of the cows on or next to the street.
Best regards, wegaworld

P.S. The drive to the lighthouse is private property but allowed for visitors.
