Challenge Caches
This is a challenge cache. In additional to signing the log book you must also fulfill the challenge before logging a find online. You may sign the logbook before completing the challenge but please don't claim a find online until you qualify. A challenge checker which you can use to see if you qualify is below. Anyone claiming a find who does not meet the criteria will have their log deleted without notice.
The cache is at the listed coordinates.

The Cache
The part of the Mournes that this hike will take you is simply stunning, at over 500m its no walk in the park, but on a nice day wow. There are various parking points, I parked at Deers Meadow and just followed the wall.
