Location
Loading...Access
ead north out of Speightstown on the highway 1B. Make sure you keep left on the highway when it splits or you'll end up at the roundabout at St. Lucy Parish Church, if that happens, just knock a hard left at the roundabout and it'll bring you back to the cement plant.
If you keep left, you'll eventually pass the cement plant on your left. About 1/4 mile past the plant take a left on "Maycocks Terrace Rd.," there is a street sign for it on a telephone pole.
Follow Maycocks Terrace Rd. for a mile or two, you'll go around a bend and then there is a little shop called "Roachies," there is a sign for that, too. It kind of doesn't look like a store, so just look for the sign on your left.
Take a left at the corner where Roachies is, follow that straight 'til it dead ends.
Park your car. Get out out and walk out on the left side of the dead end into the field and you'll pick up a footpath that'll take you down through the woods and to the break.
