Geocache Description:

Overlooking Upper Lough MacNean. Turn right out of parking area and walk up the hill to lane end on left.

Plastic lunchbox type container inside a ziplock bag with the usual trinkets.

Upper and Lower Lough MacNean (the lakes of Nean's sons) take their name from a water nymph. According to legend she lived on Port Island. She was visited by a seagull and afterwards gave birth to four sons. Yeah right! Still I suppose there weren't too many storks in Ireland at the time.

Look back as you climb to the cache for a view of both loughs and the villages of Belcoo and Blacklion. If the weather's good take a picnic and enjoy the scenery.
