Geocache Description:


This is one of a series of caches intended to repopulate Belmont Park in east Belfast, where there used to be numerous caches but most have now been archived.

Belmont Park is a small park running between Circular Road, Cairnburn Road and Old Holywood Road in east Belfast, formally opened in the 1980s (see the stone by the Old Holywood Road entrance). It is bisected by the A55 dual carriageway with two bridges over the road to link the two halves of the park. It's a popular dog walking location, and also has a children's play area and some forest paths.

For caching purposes, there is parking at the Circular Road entrance (CIYMS) and a smaller car park at the Old Holywood Road entrance. Cycling cachers can also get there via either of these two entrances or on the A55 cycle path, but note that the park is a bit too steep in places to cycle through easily!

The cache

The cache is a small camouflaged bison tube, attached to a tree. The park is usually quite busy with muggles though GZ is a little less busy than other parts of the park. Please do not remove the tube from the tree when logging, just remove the screw top, and be sure to screw it shut tightly afterwards to make sure it stays watertight!
