A long walk over (and through) some very difficult terrain in the middle of the night, a very tricky puzzle to solve "on your feet", and the owner's willingness to be woken up in the middle of the night all contribute to the award, but it's mainly for the ingenuity and effort expended in preparing the cache.

I'm not very good at puzzles and as a rule do them only as a means to an end - i.e. to be able to visit a cache I particularly want to find. This one taxed me greatly, and I needed a little more help from my caching friend factotem than I really felt comfortable with.
But the cache was worth the trouble 🙂. Neatly put together, and with an excellent container in a good hide at the end of it.

This one is in Windsor, so I came here on my boat, which always adds to my enjoyment of a cache.
I have a fear of heights. The first time I visited, by myself, I bottled it. Some time later I returned with Pseudolite. He went up to recover the cache. At age 60, and for the first time in my life, I climbed a very tall tree to put it back again.
Regrettably this cache is now archived.
