Logs
Have done this climb on many occasions from the various starting points.
Bit slow on recording these but needed to do a little bit of extra research.
Always enjoy this walk and the views, even in poor visibility.

Hopefully my answers are correct or near to as I could get to be able to log this Earth Cache!
I was able to get up and down in my lunch hour which was a bonus. Not many about either!

I really enjoyed my foray on Cavehill today and this one made the visit more intimate.
I have just sent the cache owner my answers and am logging the find as per the instructions on the cache page.
I had to make sure of the locations where the answers to the Earth Cache were required as I did not want to miss them on my walk today (whilst looking for other caches) and not get the answers to allow a Find. So a wee bit of pre planning was needed before I set foot on Cavehill. I hope all is well with my submitted answers.
Why am I only the sixteenth person to log this cache, it deserves to be visited much more? TFTC

To celebrate "Earth Cache Day" myself, Track Day Toys, Halywid Hunters and andreabelfast decided we would make the climb to get the cavehill earth cache.
The questions themselves were pretty tricky, but the views certainly did not disappoint. Nigel (Halywid Hunters), ever the enthusiastic photographer managed to capture some of the views, but nothing could truely do justice to what we saw with our eyes . It was breathtaking.
Thank you to CO Komet for bringing us here to these beautiful views - favourite point awarded.

#2551 and 1/3 finds for me, Nigel (one half of Halywid Hunters), in a great afternoon’s caching in the company of Andrea [andreabelfast], Catherine [cep99] and Lorna [Track Day Toys] with the main aim of securing an ‘EARTHCACHE FIND’ and ‘SOUVENIR’ on World Earthcache Day, 12th October 2014!
THE AFTERNOON’S STORY
It was andreabelfast who contacted me to see if I would like to join her and some other friends for an afternoon’s caching on the Cavehill.
Knowing that Lorna of Track Day Toys was hoping to join the party, I arranged with her to pick me up at my home in Holywood and take me to the rendezvous point close to Belfast Castle.
On arrival, we found that andreabelfast and cep99 were already there, waiting for us. With the car parked, the four of us set out to climb up the hill and hopefully find the earthcache on Cavehill.
On the way, the others in our party took time to find a cache or two that I had already found.
The weather was great – sunny and warm – and as we climbed higher and left the tree cover behind we began to get wonderful views all round, including the Galloway peninsular in Scotland to the East.
We met plenty of people along the way and, on the summit of Cavehill, when we eventually reached this spot.
On the way back down we went for a several more caches, two of which I had ‘missed’ previously but were successfully found this time around!
Over all it was a great afternoon’s outing and a FIRST for me to the summit of Cavehill, despite being born in Belfast and living in Holywood for the past 65 years!
THIS CACHE
What can I say? A really great experience, taking me for the first time in my life to the summit of Cavehill on a truly great day with superb views all around!
We have to confess that we did find the questions a bit tricky but trust that the answers we’ve summited to the CO are ok and that he’ll accept our ‘FIND’ for this Earthcache.
This is a great cache and well worth doing. Favourite Point added without hesitation. Thanks to the CO for bringing us here.
It seems somewhat ironic that it has taken a citizen of the Czech Republic to get me to the summit of Cavehill – a landmark that I’ve looked at for over 60 years from my home town of Holywood but, until today, had never been up! I guess it’s a case of ‘better late than never’!
Photos will follow in due course but not immediately!

Original log deleted by mistake when uploading photos! Fortunately I had a duplicate (older) cache page open in my browser which still contained the log, so a quick copy and paste was all that was needed. Much relief!
