From the east go on the by-pass and at the first roundabout turn left, you will see an army camp in front of you. Just before that on the left there is a dirt track and there should be arrows or signs to show you the way. It is a few kilometers up that track but keep going and you will find it eventually.



If you are going there tomorrow morning I will be meeting someone else at 10am and taking them up if you want to follow.

I have made and uploaded a route/location map of this British burial place after the sad passing away of (keyword) [ TERRY MAWHINNEY BURIED (THURSDAY, 24 FEB 2011) ].

If you can't find it on this web site let me know and I'll upload a link again.

I attended an internment at this cemetary recently and found the track very difficult to drive. OK in a 4x4 but in an ordinary car almost impossible. Once you have arrived, it is a very peaceful and scenic place under St Hillarion.

I was given to understand that the track will eventually be tarmaced and make this journey easier for visitors.

At the GAU roundabout turn left,then turn left just before the army camp,follow the dirt track keep straight on and take the 4th right turn,keep driving,this route takes you up the left side of the valley and is an easier road to travel.

On friday the road will be signposted,but only on the track route

There is a big house on the mountainside,that makes a good point to aim for
