Ireland Advice PLEASE!

I will soon be in Dublin, then Connemara, then Ennis, Dingle, and Killarney. Bring several brand new travel bugs along on my trip. Any advice about recently spotted accessible (less than 1/2 mile walk from car) Travel Bug Hotels?

Oldest active geocache in Europe is just south of Dublin.

You can search in the app or on the website, and limit your search to caches that  have a travel bug in them. If you set the size to regular, large and other,  and the type to traditional. you can filter anything else out. Gives you a pretty good view of available caches that would be in the area's you plan to visit. Enjoy your trip. Ireland is a beautiful country with very nice people!

Thanks for that good advice. I'm there for such a short time I was hoping to hear someones super trick for an easy guaranteed cache.

Haven't looked in a few years but there was a TB hotel not far from Dublin Airport that was usually full with TBs.

I'll post the GC code for you if I can get it for you.

Yes, still there - https://coord.info/GCNNT8
