Geocache Description:



Bring a picnic and join me, Captain Panteras for the sixth annual Boat Only Event!

The event will take place on Saturday 5th July at 11:00am and will end on the afternoon tide (that's around 17:00 for you land lubbers).

As has become tradition, the event is situated on the banks of the River Nene near the Historic village of Fotheringhay.
For those familiar with working in a Galley, BBQ's are allowed on the river side, provided the grass is not damaged (if using a BBQ please make sure it raised off the ground)

As the name suggests, the event log is only accessible by Boat though, and it will be found at N52 31.432 W000 26.218 - so come prepared to paddle and get wet!

There is a launch point and parking on the side of the road for a limited number of cars at Fotheringhay bridge N52 31.449 W0 26.317. If you want a longer paddle, other parking/launch spots are available up and down the river. If you park anywhere that involves a parking fee - please make sure you pay it! (as I have ended up having to pay for other peoples parking in previous years!)
There is space for a limited number of tents to camp by the riverside on the Saturday night (for boaters only!) but please note there are no facilities!

TB and Geocoin discovery and trades are welcome, but it's recommended they should be kept on shore - as very few of them actually float if dropped overboard!

*PLEASE NOTE*
This event is held on and near the River Nene. Rivers can be dangerous places, please take care. Life jackets must be worn by all attendees venturing out onto the water.
