The Elgin Trail runs 41 km from Port Stanley on Lake Erie to Southdel Bourne, following Kettle Creek and Dodds Creek, along some country roads for several kilometres, and then goes over the 401 and crosses a forest near the Green Lane landfill site. The trail is well marked with white blazes, but is not well-used, so it is overgrown at times.
This new series highlights the best hikes around the world, trails that we would someday like to hike on and enjoy. There are an assortment of caches along the Elgin trail commemorating these other trails.
Croagh Patrick is a mountain in Ireland, renowned for its Patrician Pilgrimage in honour of Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint. It was on the summit of the mountain that Saint Patrick fasted for forty days in 441 AD, and the custom has been faithfully handed down from generation to generation. At 764m altitude, Croagh Patrick is the 4th highest mountain in Ireland and offers truly spectacular views from its summit. Also called Cruach Phádraig, (Saint) Patrick's Stack, or "the Reek”, it is considered Ireland's holiest mountain. The 7-km Pilgrim Path hike up the mountain and then 7 more km back down takes three to four hours.
Opa Norshley helped me with the hides and the listing. Hope you like these.
To obtain the final coordinates for the cache, enter into the Certitude geochecker the date that Ireland (and the rest of the world) celebrates St. Patrick's Day.
