Derwent river raft race :Matlock Traditional Cache
cooper troopers: Im finding it harder to maintain my caches due to work and family commitments also there seems to be a lot more maintenance needed than there used to be due to lack of care by finders

you are looking for a small camo covered container, the path is tarmac but after heavy rain could become alittle muddy and pushchairs, wheelchairs and pushbikes should be fine. people with children should take care as off the pathis a bank stright down to the river.

Well done cats eyes FTF
This cache is near the original starting place to the yearly boxing day raft race which starts at Matlock around 10ish and finishes at Cromford just after 1pm. The race has been going for 48years and only has been cancelled a couple of times one of which was 2010.
The local sub aqua club run it and can have up to 50 crazy rafts going along the river usually in fancy dress. Rather them than us as its frezzing stood watching never mind being in the water!
So if you manage to grab the cache on boxing day my hat is off to you. :)
