+colleda Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Many canals now have series of caches. You would need to check on the number of locks so as to avoid too much portage. Check Macclesfield, Llangollen, Shropshire Union etc. Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Many canals now have series of caches. True... but most of them are set along tow paths and NOT located so they can be reached from the water. Quote Link to comment

It could be awkward (and time consuming) depending on the type of kayak, i.e. enclosed or open, and nature of the canal bank. Quote Link to comment

+Yorkshire Yellow Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) There's a one-off traditional rated at 5/5 called Hippos Below. The Cache by kayak series near Chippenham, Wiltshire. Stumbled across this bookmark list which may be of some help. Edited September 20, 2016 by Yorkshire Yellow Quote Link to comment
+duncanhoyle Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 There's a one-off traditional rated at 5/5 called Hippos Below. The Cache by kayak series near Chippenham, Wiltshire. Stumbled across this bookmark list which may be of some help. We recently did a series on the river Tees in the NE starting at https://coord.info/GC6PDXF. It was good fun but you need a reasonable amount of water in the river as there are a few sections of rapids which we had to walk through. I think we found 15 over about 15 miles and it was a great day out. Most of it is away from paths so you get a view of the river not many see and you can get close to wildlife - we saw 6 king fishers and several little egrets. Several years ago I did a series starting at https://coord.info/GC32XY3 in Suffolk - good fun on a very gentle river Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Have a look at the river Ouse, there is a bookmark - Ouse Valley Way Mile Markers - for the Caches. Not sure if its a walk or can be done from the water. Bookmark - https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=6049f3e8-c84c-490e-a076-61362cd2b755 Quote Link to comment
