Geocache Description:

You are looking for tuppaware.
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE IF YOU ARE AT ALL UNSURE OF YOUR ABILITIES. REMEMBER THIS IS JUST A HOBBY. THE TERRAIN 4.5 IS NOT A JOKE. THE RIVER CAN RUN HIGH AND FAST. THE STONES ARE SLIPPY.

If you are going to attempt this take the upper course (where the water hits). I went across in bare feet so I could feel the slippy algae underfoot. Near the end there is a stone missing so you will need to go nearer the middle of the ford. TAKE CARE AND A FRIEND.

If you've made it to GZ well done. The you will be able to see foundations for a water wheel and mill that were never built. The Island is very peaceful so have a look around.
