Geocache Description:


Salmon fishery (circa 1600) Portstewart

The salmon fishery at Portstewart is one of the last surviving old buildings in the town. It has 2 really old boat winches. It is also a very popular spot for crabbers off the side of the inlet.

A history of salmon fishing on the Causeway Coast can be found at http://niarchive.org/trails/causeway-coast-salmon/

 

This letterbox hyrbrid will bring you along a short portion along one of my favourite walks. The listed co-ordinates should have you standing beside a rusted metal object, between a coffee shop and a coastal path. Standing at gz, with the sea on your left, and the land on your right, follow the path for approximately 330 metres. At this point, there should be a set of steps descending to a bench on your left hand side. Walk down these steps, and you will be standing on a concrete area with some steps in front of you going down to the shore. As you approach the second set of steps, you will see a small retaining wall, with a gap between it and the grass. The cache will be hidden there.

It is a 700ml container, with logbook, pencil and some swappables in it. It also has a self-inking stamp in it. ***This is NOT a swappable, and is to remain in the container.***
