About This Item

Go to Ireland #3

I´m a 40 years old Ireland fan living 50 kilometres north of Hamburg in Germany. So far I´ve been to that beautiful country for seven times. Because of my two little children it is not possible for me to spend my holidays in Ireland this year. So I thought: "Well, I won´t go to Ireland this year, but my geocoins will!"


This is the third of six geocoins I´m sending to remote places in Ireland (and hopefully back to Germany). It is a competiton. The third geocoins mission is to travel to Mullet Peninsula, Co Mayo, Ireland ("Good luck and thanks" GC1EYM4). Unfortunately I haven´t been there yet, but its my primary goal to visit this peninsula, when I go to Ireland once again, because there aren´t that much tourists there and I love remote places unspoiled with tourists. I was near Mullet Peninsula in Summer 1995, when I stayed in Pollatomish at a hostel that was run by a German couple (years later I was the Latin teacher of their three nieces for a short time. Funny how small the world ist.).

Now to the competition: Every time a finder takes this coin to a pub: 10 points. For each pint in the pub: 2 points. Every photo with finder in or in front of a pub: 20 points. Every cache this coin will visit in Ireland: 20 points. Each Geocacher Event this coin will attend: 50 points.

The other five geocoins go to Great Blasket Island (Co Kerry), Inishbofin (Co Galway), Cape Clear Island (Co Cork), Tory Island ("Kingdom of Tory Island", Co Donegal) and Inishtrahull Island (Co Donegal).

So Mayomen and Mayowomen it is up to you to support your county and beat Kerry, Galway, Cork, The Kingdom of Tory Island and Donegal! Take this coin to your local pub, drink a few pints, take a picture and put it in the nearest cache. Have fun and good luck!!! Slainté! Kniepzwicker.

 At the moment Mayo has got 342 points, that´s fourth place!

Unfortunately, this coin made its way to Athens, Ohio. I am the owner of the cache in which it was placed. I have a colleague that performs maintenance on it while in Ireland and he always removes all trackable items to bring to America. I will see if I can get this one headed back in the right direction. It may take a while.
