Geocache Description:


*The reference coordinates are not to be used as the cache is NOT hidden there*



The ‘G is for’ series of caches are all placed along the Turlough to Castlebar Greenway. You do not have to leave the greenway to access any of the caches. There are a number of local roads crossing the greenway and some of the caches can be accessed easily at these points.

The greenway is an 11.9 kilometre long lightly trafficked trail located near Castlebar, County Mayo, that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, road biking and now Geocaching. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on a leash.




‘Geintlíocht’ is the Irish word for Magic!


Pick a number from the grid below.

058 059 061 121 066 072 008 108
128 129 131 191 136 142 078 178
094 095 097 157 102 108 044 144
084 085 087 147 092 098 034 134
150 151 153 213 158 164 100 200
096 097 099 159 104 110 046 146
068 069 071 131 076 082 018 118
062 063 065 125 070 076 012 112


Select any number you like and circle it. Now put a line through every number above, below, right and left of your chosen circled number. Now select another, circle it and repeat the elimination above, below, right and left of your chosen circled number. Continue in this manner until you have used or discarded every number in the table. Look now at only your circled numbers and add them all together. The magic results in the North coordinate ???

Ok, now its time to try again with a different grid? Repeat as before and this grid result will be the West coordinate ???
