Geocache Description:


Skerry MPT - Sheep Hotel

This is a replacement cache. Last one archived following a few DNF's. However when we were out doing a maintenance run on the whole series we found that this cache was still in place exactly as it should be. As it has lasted all this time we thought it would be good to get it back out in play again. Replaced cache with a fresh container. 

The idea for Skerry Mini Power Trail (MPT) came about on our way home from a day's caching. Snuggles:) took us up this little road and proceeded to tell us that it only had one cache on it right at the far end. Although we had this cache none of us had driven on down this road to know where it led to.

It is such a lovely little road. It is off the beaten track, there are views for miles all around, it takes in part of the circular Dungonnell Way walk and to top it off you are driving up through some mountains rather than trying to climb them. Now that is a plus!

We decided this road needed a MPT to help each cacher take their time on this road to really look around and enjoy the beauty of our wee Emerald Isle. We don't know a lot about the area but it's amazing what you can learn from an OS map. Take one with you and see if you can work out how most of the caches got their names.

THE CACHE

I wouldn't stay here myself but I'm sure the sheep love it. Cache is a small round snap shut lid box.
