Who
This CITO is open to everyone, especially those who have not attended a CITO before, and even those who have never boated!
If you do not own a boat then please read the section below "But I don't have a boat".
What
As ever, litter pickers and bin bags will be provided. All that is needed is a boat and an hour or so of your time to canoe/kayak the route and find litter to place into your bin bag. To log an "attended" at the event you will have to sign the log book which will be in the middle of the river!
Chatting, laughing and generally having fun along the route is strongly encouraged! There are also several caches along the river to find if you haven't already done so.
No bacon butties this time, you'll have to come to the earlier event for them! But we will have tea/coffee and cake. If you have a favourite cake let us know and we'll see what we can do.
But I don't have a boat!
That's okay, there are several ways around this. Some people may have spare seats or even spare boats. If you will have space in your boat please say so in your "Will Attend" log to help us plan. We are able to provide a couple of bouyancy aids too. Swampy has made enquiries with a local kayak hire centre who are able to help, send us a message for more details. If you would like to attend but do not have the means please either post a note or contact us through our profile and we will make sure you are able to take part.
When
Coinciding with geocaching.com's CITO weekend we will be meeting on April 20th at 2pm to start inflating and launching boats.
There should be plenty of time to warm up and enjoy a tasty lunch between the morning traditional CITO and this event if you want to attend both.
Where
Starting at the above coordinates we will head along the river as far as we can. The route follows the course of the Old River Nene which is a maintained waterway with little flow and unlikely to be in flood should we have much rain beforehand.
Footwear and Clothing
Unfortunately we are unable to prebook the weather so please come prepared! Old clothes and waterproofs are definitely the order of the day, as are life jackets/ bouyancy aids! Work or gardening gloves will be provided but if you have your own please bring them along.
Please remember, as always, you cache at your own risk.
