Geocache Description:

'Northampton by boat (The Loop)' is a series of caches placed along on the river Nene, the route takes you downstream from the Watersports centre and back up through the locks of the navigable section, rejoining the main channel to once again head downstream to the start point at the Watersports centre. None of the caches are accessible by foot. You will need a boat or the willingness to get wet!

The safety bit...
You are advised to ensure that you have access to, and experience of using, equipment appropriate to the task. A buoyancy aid is a must. You cache at your own risk!

Do I need to bring a pen?
Yes. Some of the caches haven’t got pens/pencils in them. Please bring a biro with you. A pencil will not be suitable as some of the logbooks are made from water-proof paper.

Where do I park?
The caches are placed along the Nene in the area shown in the map above. There is parking available along the route, but it's probably easiest to start and finish at the watersports centre (you are responsible for ensuring you park within accordance of any local conditions that may be in force).
