Geocache Description:

Almost a cache and dash. Located at a pretty picnic spot.

This is a cache hidden near a pretty picnic spot on the windyhill road between Limavady and Coleraine. It is commonly know to locals as "The murderhole Road"...
The main coaching road between Coleraine and Derry – which,
today, still bears the sinister name of the ‘Murderhole Road’ – led across the remote and dangerous Limavady Mountain. Once a coach pulled away from the busy market town of Coleraine, it faced bleak and mountainous territory, where thick forests impinged upon deep and desolate bogs as the route started to climb up the mountain
itself. There were no real towns on the uplands, only a few isolated hamlets and scattered houses where the people were wary of travellers. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, at least six separate highwaymen and two outlaw gangs operated along the Murderhole Road, robbing and killing travellers at will. It was a brave person who
would ‘chance the mountain’, especially in the short days of winter when bad weather made the roads difficult...
But I think it is fairly safe nowadays although there are some who live alone the road who claim to hear the sound of hooves late at night but when they look out - there is nothing to be seen.
A brave cacher would do this cache at their own risk especially when the moon is full and the mountain silent in the fog...

PLEASE ENSURE YOU REHIDE THIS CAREFULLY - I WOULD HATE A MODERN DAY HIGHWAYMAN TO FIND IT!!
