Kayak Series - Reed the Instructions Traditional Cache

This series of caches are primarily designed to be accessed with a kayak. Some may be accessible by other means too, such as other water craft, climbing, steep paths or low-water crossings. My suggested method is with a kayak, so don't blame me if you get wet feet.

Some of these caches are best attempted in calm/smooth seas and at certain tide conditions. If the landing appears to be too difficult, consider returning at a different state of tide or wind direction.

Some caches in this series are away from popular beaches or easy access by other means. It is therefore important that you prepare properly for your trip.

Check the weather forecast and sea conditions before setting out.

Travel with another kayaker, if possible. Let someone know your travel details and anticipated return time.

Dress for the weather conditions, it can be colder on the water than on land. Use sunscreen, hats and long sleeved clothes in sunny weather.

Carry appropriate safety equipment. Wear your life jacket (PFD). Wearing your lifejacket will help keep your head above water and add insulation to your body, keeping you warmer in cold water. Carry a mobile phone (in a waterproof container if needed.)

There is a good scramble to get to this cache, but not very difficult, make sure that you have something on your feet.
