By seeking this or any other cache placed
by myself or maintained by me you accept responsibility for your
own safety. Caching can be dangerous. Assess the risk for yourself
before seeking this cache!
Exeter's historic quay has many important buildings dating from the
15th century onwards. The atmosphere around the quay is very
tranquil by day. There are plenty of pubs and shops, including many
unique craft shops in the converted dockside buildings which were
also used for filming scenes in the Onedin Line. By night the area
livens up a bit with many pubs and clubs.
The total distance to travel is approximately a mile and a half.
You cannot drive your car, but bicycles are allowed. It is almost
completely flat, except wheelchairs would have a problem at the
final cache location. Parking is available at Pay and Display car
parks nearby ("Cathedral and Quay" or "Haven Banks"). Most of the
area is waterside with no safety rails. Make sure any children
don't go in an for unplanned dip!
It is not advisable to do this one in the dark by torchlight.
You may attract attention to yourself and the cache from passers
by. The middle stage is also residential, so a torch being shone
around could make things difficult. I hope you understand,
thanks.

The cache container is small, so very small swaps only. There
is no need to look amongst any litter that may be lying around.
It contains a log sheet and pencil.
Please be extra cautious when replacing the cache, as you will
almost certainly be seen by onlookers. Try to be furtive! This
cache has had a large number of DNF's. The cache is there, but it
is very well concealed. Difficulty is high (3.5) because of this.
Terrain is mostly 1 (flat), apart from the final cache site
(2).
GOOD LUCK!!!!
