Geocache Description:


Clean up Minerstown Beach on 23rd September 2018 @ 2.00pm and be part of the Autumn International CITO Week and earn a CITO souvenir too). “lend a hand to improve the geocaching game board (i.e. planet Earth)"

- Parking Directions: The owners of Edgewater Caravan Park have generously given permission for us to park in their field; you will see the field gate open on the left when you go down the entrance road; please drive & park considerately.

Don't panic, no fancy dress is required but you may need to jump to the left...and take a step to the right and possibly pull your knees in ti-i-i-i-ght due to the numerous large boulder that make up the area to be cleaned. Litter gets blown along and trapped amongst the rocks so be prepared to clamber over & stretch between the rocks and manoeuver your grabber into all sorts of nooks & crannies to do a really thorough job.

***N.B. the T ratings; this beach is rocks & large pebbles all the way with areas of steep slopes consequently it is difficult & tiring to walk over. It will also be challenging to litter-pick in this terrain. You will be here for around 1 ½ to 2 hours. Appropriate footwear is essential for your own safety.***

There is a small beach area that is more suitable for children and anyone with mobility difficulties.

The beach & clean-up area are close to the road and care should be taken that children / dogs don't stray! 

- The caravan park is private and must not be entered as their insurance does not cover visitors.

- There are no toilets or food outlets nearby; the nearest would be Ardglass or Downpatrick.

- Well behaved dogs are welcome but please be prepared to put them on a lead if requested.

Litter pickers & bags etc will be provided on the day. Please bring gloves if you have them.

We can't guarantee the weather but you can be sure of a cuppa, biccie cake and a bit of craic after the clean-up. A few travel bugs & geocoins may even emerge to be discovered or grabbed! If you wish really hard the cache fairy may wave her magic wand and a new cache may appear on the day…so be extra good!

The local council will take all the rubbish away from a designated collection point.
