Coordinates are not exactly at the cache
location. The cache is hidden in a cave in a cliff at sea level
where there is no GPS signal, so coordinates take you are only to
the entrance to the cave. Cache is accessible only during low tide,
at high tide the cave is full of water. You can check tides
HERE. You don't have to be exactly at
the time of the lowest level of water, 2 hours before and after
is enough. But NEVER try to get into the
cave at high tide, its extremely dangerous!
Unfortunately, even at low tide there is still a small lake/puddle
at the entrance to the cave so you have to bring
wellingtons with you. You can
climb above water, but only if you have good experience in rock
climbing, otherwise you will fall into the water
. You have to bring a
torch with you because the
cache is placed in complete darkness.
Cave is always a dangerous spot, even if it's small, and especially
where periodically flooded by water. There is no cellphone signal
inside and nobody will see and hear you when you are in the cave.
Cave is a very special ecosystem worth protecting, with its special
climate, fauna and flora. Regarding all those things
remember:
- Don't go to the cave alone, if you happen
to have even a small accident, you will in big trouble. Always
leave a note with your family or friend saying where the cave is
and when you plan to get out of the cave and give them a ring when
you come back onto a safe ground.
- Always carry an extra torch in case you lose or break down your
only one light.
- Take some warm cloths because it is cold and humid inside the
cave.
- Don't use open fire as smoke will blacken the walls and may kill
some creatures (including you
).
- Don't disturb any creatures inside.
- Don't left any rubbish behind you or inscription on the
walls.
There are two paths from the top of the cliff to the
beach below. It's your decision which one will you use. One is at N
53° 21.741 W 006° 04.478 and second at N 53° 21.903 W 006° 03.971.
Both paths are very steep and the way to the cave is rocky and
slippery so proper walking boots are strongly recommended.
Cache location:
Go straight into the cave through approx. 10 m long lake/puddle,
and then turn right into a dark passage, and go about 15 m to the
end, where you will find the cache. The cache is a small tupperware
container with a logbook, pencil and some goodies.
Have a look at the attached pictures to see details of the
terrain.
Please replace the cache and its cover exactly as you found it.
And please report any problems with the cache and its location.
