Description    Deutsch  ·  English  ·  Français

This cache was set up to honour the original cache Le Rocher des Portes (GC1FW78) which unfortunally was muggled and deactivated in 2013. I passed the small island "Le Rocher des Portes" which is located right in front of Cap Camarat countess times as a guest on a scuba diving boat. Then after years I noticed that there is a cache on the island. As I liked both the cache and also the island plus the hiking down to the island from the lighthouse along with the breathtaking ocean and coastal view from the rocks so much I had to put a cache here again.

You can access the cache by boat or swimming. Please be aware of the drift between the cape and the island, which can be quite strong, depending on the tide. Also you can easily fall and injure yourself on the rocky and slippery rocks near the water. Please be aware of passing boats also.

The cache is located under some bigger and smaller rocks near the highest point of the island on the side of the island which is facing the cape. The cache is attached to a chain. Use the chain to pull the cache out of the hiding place. Please behave gentle and be aware of the birds which use the island as a breeding area.

Remember the notes you will find in the cache. Either make a photo (don't wet the camera on the way to the cache) or use a piece of paper and a pencil.

Please hide the cache again carefully under the rocks.

If you want and can, please enclose some photos of your visit to the island in your log. The scenery really deserves it.

Archiviert, ich erstelle den neuen Cache "Le Rocher des Portes (Re-Reloaded)" an genau dieser Stelle.

Note The geocache is in good or acceptable condition. 27 November 2016, 23:58 Roi Danton wrote a note

Wurde auf Geocaching.com am 27.11.2016 archiviert, da keine Dose vor Ort vorhanden ist. Cache ist hier bei Opencaching erfasst damit er auch hier geloggt werden kann. Außerdem ist der Cache an sich und nach wie vor noch aktiv und kann gesucht werden.

Beizeiten wird ein Nachfolgecache installiert, der dann auch eine Dose mit Logbuch beinhaltet.
