This is the Bonus cache for the "Let’s go paddling… (The Stour River, Christchurch)" Adventure Labs.... (and one of the "Let’s go paddling…" caches along the Stour river, see the full list below)
It is NOT at the published coordinates, but using information gathered while doing the AD LAB's you will be able to work out the final.
The Adventure Labs will take you on a paddle up the Stour river and you will see some of the sights along the way... Lovely riverside houses and wildlife too! Make sure you look out for bonus information for this cache.
Some of the AD LAB locations may be accessible without being on the water, but kayaking, paddle boarding or some other watercraft is highly recommended to get the full experience and find them all including this bonus cache which is only accessible from the water...
However please ensure to check the tides, weather (particularly wind conditions) and keep water safety in mind. This section of river is tidal and as such it can, at times, have a strong current. It also has deep mud in places.
Have fun and stay safe. You seek this cache entirely at your own risk. Neither I nor Groundspeak accept any liability if you hurt yourself.

Cache location:
N50 4D.(A-D)E7
W001 47.B(C-3)7
Here is the list of "Let's go Paddling..." caches along the Stour river:
Please note this is only a rough suggested route, some of the final locations that require solving will fall in a slightly different order, however starting with the Adventure Labs and going up the river is suggested if you are aiming to find all the caches in one trip. The whole route from Mayors Mead Launch to the last cache is approximately 3 miles, so 6 miles round trip, which will take approximately 3-4 hours (depending on time taken to find the caches, weather conditions etc), with the return to the car park being a lot quicker following the river back downstream.
