The cache is dangling at around the high water mark just South of where boats are moored at Wateringbury.
I haven't recommended access points at Wateringbury as I believe that they are all private.
However, cachers have reported launching from the Marina (with permission) when doing the Medway Canoe Trail between Wateringbury and Teston.
In the past I have moored outside the Riverside Restaurant, just before the bridge, where there is an access point.
Note that:
- You are supposed to have a licence to boat on the river. If you plan on canoeing more than a few times, or on more than one waterway the most cost-effective way may be the annual licence from the British Canoe Union. Canoe-England
- A buoyancy aid is recommended, even if you can swim.
- Be careful especially near weirs, sluices and canoe passes. These increase the risk of capsize, especially at times of high water flow. There is a risk of entrapment or even drowning.
- Be prepared to deal with getting wet. Although this may be pleasant in summer it can be dangerous in colder months.
- Electronic gadgets tend not to cope well with water so if you are taking them with you I recommend that you use appropriate waterproofing protection for them.
