I would like to start out by saying there really isn't a correct section for this guide, so it's here.

How do you get there?
Start by going to your magic tab, you then locate the combat training teleport.
See Fig 1.
Fig 1.
You then locate the ape atoll teleport
See Fig 2.
Fig 2.
Now you select this option.
You have arrived, you need to locate the stairs.
See Fig 3.
Fig 3
Go down them.
Next we got to find the trap door.
See Fig 4.
Fig 4
Now we go down this trap door.
Once you're down here run east until you reach the sweet spot.
See Fig 5.

Positioning
From the sweet spot, set up your cannon, then take a few steps south to stand against the wall
(See Fig 1.), from here you can fill, and fire your cannon.

The great escape
Okay, so you goofed, and forgot your panic tab, no need to worry, or die.
You can leave right away, or wait until you're down to your last supplies.
To do this you must run north, then east, then south east, to where no npcs are.
See Fig 1.
Fig 1
You can now teleport safely

Xp rates
25m-120m per hour
Note: The range xp is for red chins, it varies so much due to the hits you get whilst ranging, I averaged 80k xp per chin.

Tips
Use a halo, you don't notice much difference in using a halo, and it can really cut down on your use of super prayers.
Always protect melee.
Use rigour, or eagle eye if you don't have rigour.
Don't use your brews unless your prayer drops due to lag, or you not paying much attention.
Each time you overload, fill your cannon.
When running to the sweet spot turn off auto retaliate, but don't forget to turn it on once against the wall.
