Amberel Top Cache Awards Central

If You Go Down To The Woods Tonight	The first above ground maximum 25 point TOP CACHE in the UK. This by itself says almost all that needs to be said. A truly awsome night cache, in a great location, meticulously planned for optimum layout. Immense investment of time and effort on each of the stages, ingenuity coupled with top quality preparation, everything is designed, made and maintained to the highest standard.

The Sky At Night	Tree climbs by night :-). A lot of work for one cache, but what else would you expect from this c/o ;-) ? The other thing you expect from this c/o is immaculate presentation and minute attention to detail, and you get this too :-) . View the cache page on geocaching.com

Hippos Below	One of the "classics", I don't know how I managed to cache for 11 years without doing it earlier. Saved it up for a great occasion I guess ;-). A dreadfully muddy approach, but a great paddle once inside :-) . View the cache page on geocaching.com	No response from c/o

Float your boat	Lovely boat series on the Nene, but tricky - I was able to reach only two of the four caches. The best of them was one that I didn't even try to get to on my own, and from a narrow, wobbly, unstable canoe, so I've linked to one that I did manage :-) .

Caching for Girls - Pucker Up!	This entry covers 3 quite simple but varied free climbs on the Brampton Valley Way - the other two being BVW High 'n' Mighty and BVW Branching Out. All the caches were nicely presented. There are a number of more difficult climbs in the vicinity that I didn't tackle because I hadn't solved the puzzles - maybe in due course they will get a TOP CACHE coin too :-) .
