Derryherbert View Connacht, Ireland
By SaaX on 14-Dec-08. Waypoint GC1JWV2

After enjoying our walk to 'Discover Curraun More', we decided to continue on. Upon reaching the stile, a spectacular view opened up, even before ascending the hill. It was quite a boggy climb and we were really grateful for the gumboots we'd wisely decided to wear. It was tiring, but the views from the top were worth it, just wonderful. I wish we could have done the other caches in the area, but we were more than happy with this morning's achievements. Thanks for the caches, they were great!

...jo, der Herbert...had a really fine view from the little (half hill! On the way up with our short legged girl we had time enough to find the small plants of sundew (both variations) what we never saw before. Between two showers of rain we also had a look to Hen's Castle what will come next...we are sure...thank you SaaX and see you tomorrow!!!

A realy nice view ... to the Hen`s Castle
It was impressive. A great rainshower came on the lake and on the castle.
TFTC say Feuer+Flamme. Greetings to SaaX

Nice hike and great views! TFTC!

we did the cache series of three. this one was the most exhausting one, but the amazing view worth the efforts.
Many thanks for another great hiking day

Replaced the cache with a brand new box today...

Found this today along with the other two caches in the area. Started from the Curraun More side and found this cache last after finding 'Can you hear the waterfall' and 'Discover Curraunmore'. Scrambled up the hill and found this cache in plain view with no rocks covering it. All in it took us three hours at a fairly gentle pace and a good stop for lunch at this cache. The views from up here were amazing and I'll happily award a favourite point. Thanks for placing these caches, yet more great SaaX caches. Really enjoyed the walk and the scenery today. The only bad news is that the cache is in a bad way and will require maintenance. TNLNSL.

One of the tabs on the box is broken and the cache was full of water. The logbook was soaked and I could barely make my scrawl. Unfortunately I had nothing to repair the cache with so just dried it out as best I could. (Not an April fools joke! )

Found it!

Once again folliwing your tracks was really amazing! Thanks again for all these caches on natural trail.

Very Windy and wet

great challange

Enjoyed it -

A tough walk. But found our fourth cache for the day. Thanks. Nice views.

The first part was quite a challenge because I went uphill in the woods. Once out of the woods it was a lot easier. Such a nice views, really worth the climb! TFTC

Although we kind of expected it to be the harder way, we went through the woods. Our little dog got lost in the tall grass, we were falling on our knees not knowing where to step...it was just great fun Beautiful day yet again.
Made a little musical video with all the instruments from the box
TFTC, no trade.

What a climb ' tftc

Sent from my mobile device.

Hmmm, there has to be a trail heading up there, or not? That was the main question to us - we finally decided to walk the direct strenuous line. We didn´t find a path but weren´t dissapointed. What a breathtaking, gorgeous, awesome view from up there, worth every drop in your face and shoes. Great experience, thanks! Ireland at its best.

That was the last of the three caches. The "track" had been really steep, means, we saw no way at all and just went staight on up . The view over the scenery and especially the lake was gorgious!! That was the absolut highlight of that day and I really enjoyed the view! Though it was quite exhausting to get to that cache, we really got rewarded afterwards - TFTC!

A nice place to "rest in peace" because the last 300 meters a really fu... exhausting
Thanks to my friends SaaX showing me this greate view.

Happy Wayfarer

We weren't sure that we'd make it up to this one, but we kept walking until we found a nice clear route to the top. The views from up here are amazing. TFTC.

(552) Oh my god!! Now we know why this one hasn't been visited a lot. We had to find the passage to the coordinates first, but we couldn't, so we "swam" up the muddy mountain and after a steep climb we saw the spot, guarded by several sheep. Luckely they were more affraid of us then we were of them. We couldn't enjoy the beautiful view because of a big shower that came our way (and hit us right in the face).
Nice cache even tough it ruined our shoes
