According to Collins Dictionary, the definition of 'Leap of Faith' means a belief in something uncertain e.g. It requires a significant leap of faith to believe that we can succeed where so many others have failed.
Have you got what it takes to take the Leap of Faith?
When I saw this location with my muggle colleague, we thought it the ideal location, and discussed all sorts of evilness for it.
ACCESS IS ONLY FROM THE RIVER, which is a great paddle by kayak. I wouldnt recommend bringing an outboard motorboat, as you cant launch it anywhere (except 8km down stream by the SH2 bridge) and there are many submerged rocks either just below the water level, or protruding above the surface depending on the tide. (Bear in mind also, the speed limit is 5knots along the whole river if you do use a powerboat).
Bring your polarised glasses, (or maybe a dive mask), you may find them useful. Waiting for low water levels might help too.
Please write small on the log sheet, so the log lasts for a while and replace cache as found to keep it safe from heavy river flows.
Congratulations to NZFlossy to score the FTF honours

Logging Etiquette:
As a geocache owner I have put a great deal of thought and effort in placing this cache. As a geocache finder, you have made an effort to join in with geocaching, you have made an effort to go out of your way to find the cache, so please make an effort into logging your find. Cache owners do not welcome single words, acronyms, or "copy and paste" logs as they don't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
