The Cache
The cache is a small screw top container inside some cammo, it only contains a log so...BYOP.
The best approach is to follow the forestry track from the gate at the back of the car park area.
Don’t waste this one on a bad day, the views from Craig-Na-Shoke, (Carraig na Seabhac - the rock of the hawk), locally known as Eagle's Rock, are worth the climb. A pair of binoculars and a map would add to the experience of the views. From here you can pick out one of my other caches and if you have the time or the energy why not give it a go Me Da's white stone GC2P72X
Underfoot its all forestry tracks, with the exception of the trail to the cache site as its on open mountain. Wear walking boots and suitable clothing for the weather conditions also bring light refreshments.
It’s no cache and dash. A very fit and experienced hillwalker could get to the cache site in 30 minutes, everyone else should allow 45 minutes for the climb up.
If you continue your dander on up to Craig-na-Shoke....Please do not go climbing on the actual basalt rock face as the surface rock is quite loose in places.
The parking area has had a makeover recently and there is now a gate on it which is locked at dusk by a local. There used to be a picnic table in the car park, but somehow it has been 'relocated' into the beech planting above the car park. From the car park you can find Frostbitex's Hudy's Rest cache.
