Canned Hams Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Hello, My wife and I will be visiting from the US in August. We thought time permitting we'd do a some geocaching and even bring along a geocoin we've recently acquired from here in the states. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick (Direct email at cooper1985@verizon.net) Quote
+CrazyL200 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 There's lots of good caching in Ireland. You might find the Irish Forum a good place to get suggestions from. Quote
Vanya1 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Hi I stayed in Drogheda on the Spring Exinox. Im sure I just spelt that wrong I was only there 2 or 3 days so didnt get much caching in atall but noticed that there were some really beautiful Boyne River cache walks that I would have liked to do. I picked up a few trads round the areas that I visited which I was thrilled at. The Hill of Tara, Hill of Witches, Dowth and there was one more which I cant remember off hand. I nearly got the Newgrange cache but as it is located in the car park which was shutting I was peeved because I was literally feet away from it. I vowed I would go back with my family who would love the area for its spiritual and historical places of interest and to get that bloomin' Newgrange cache I know you will fall in love with the area because it is fairy magickal Vanya PS Are you staying in that lovely B and B beside the Dowth mound? It is a well known B and B run by a lady called Elizabeth and I highly recommend it. I slept in the same bed as many famous Irish pop stars Quote

+Donmoore Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 You will be made more than welcome to Ireland both north and south. being that you are staying in a border area you will be able to get caches in both Ireland and the UK. so if you like adding countries to your caching resume this will help. Being a smallish island you will probably think all our caches are within driving distance compared to the states Quote
