Amberel Top Cache Awards SE

Fort Micro #13 Fort Darnett	I love getting out on the water. This time I left "Amberel" at home and took the inflatable dinghy a couple of miles out into the Medway Estuary. It's quite surprising, but great news, that places like this old fort remain accessible. One of the top TOP CACHES. Click the images to expand them.

Fort Micro #8 Grain Tower Battery	Another one of the very best of the best, and one of the very few TOP CACHE awards for a cache I hadn't found - two DNFs, a year apart, and both late in the day. But another year on, a third visit, and a long and most determined search, meant I was able finally to add it to my "found it" list :-). What a moody and desolate place, the most atmospheric of any cache location I've visited, a truly awesome place for a cache. Click the image to expand it.

CuN-undrum (sic) - AA5	A really tough series of climbs, in a great location for the activity - the area near the trees appear to be completely muggle free :-). The hardest ones I had done up until then, and I'm pleased to say with my own equipment and under my own steam :-). View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Out with the Washing, Up with the Flag	More fantastic climbing caches, this time VERY high, and with an unusual twist :-). The cache owner and mpw246pl "helped", where "help" is a euphemism for doing all the hard bits :-) I did have to get to the cache, but lacked the skills and equipment to manage by myself. I marvel at the abilities of those who can set and reach these caches unaided, and am so grateful for the help that means I can share their experiences. P.S. as a result of these experiences I do now have some of the skills required, and this is largely due to the training I received on this cache, "Under Flock & Key" and others.

The Beast 666	Not just any old TOP CACHE, but one of my best caches ever. With the expert assistance of Purple Pineapple and Merstham Mafia I overcame my fear of heights to abseil to this cache. At one point I thought I'd never get back up again, but eventually I dragged myself to the top. I was too scared really to enjoy it, but I'm chuffed that I've done it. I'm not likely to do anything like that again (that's what I said at the time, but I've actually now done loads of things like it :-) ), but it's a cache I'll never forget.

Sadex's Spire - AA1	After having used my climbing gear for the first time on Squirrel's Skylight, but accompanied by someone else, I found myself driving home past this cache. It hadn't been on my list to do, but the opportunity to tackle my first climb completely by myself, in the unseasonably warm weather, was too good to miss.

Terrain Challenge	A series of challenges which I did because I qualified for them but which turned out actually to be a splendid series in their own right. They were elegantly laid out in a clever graduation from 1.0 to 5.0 up a steady incline - the higher you got the harder they became, with the last 4 being tree free climbs :-). The link is to the 5.0 challenge, naturally the highest and hardest of the trees :-). View the cache page on geocaching.com

Medway Canoe Trail	A superb trail of caches along the Medway - accessible only from the river. The Medway is a great choice, not only because it is a quiet waterway, but it is well suited to canoeing, with canoe passes (flumes) at the locks. Some good hides, especially the one selected as the link. Good quality containers meant the logs were all dry. A great series, which also includes the companion series along the Teise.

North Downs Mega Ramble	I did this one very early in my caching "career" - it's probably my earliest TOP CACHE. Lots of mud, but a great walk in a great location. View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Earth Engine	An amusing and interesting puzzle led to an unusual and interesting location - I can't say more without spoiling the puzzle. The final approach to the cache didn't quite live up to its billing - I had been anticipating something more challenging - but it was a great place for a cache.

GTCT	The Greater Teise Canoe Trail. More like an assault course! You've seen that thing they do at the Royal Tournament, where they manhandle guns and limbers over walls, across a ravine, etc. Well this is much the same, but with a boat instead of an artillery piece ;-).

The Other One	As I said in my log at the time, this was a cache that every cacher should do. It's a shame that it was archived. kewfriend suggested I recreate the cache, which I have been honoured to do, albeit in a slightly different form as there is now another cache at the original location.

Virginia Water - Breakheart Hill	A pleasant surprise while I was walking round Virginia Water to set a cache of my own. I was expecting the lovely location, though it will be much lovelier in 3 months time than it is in the middle of January. But I wasn't expecting such a good quality, well stocked box - such things tend to be rather rare in this area. And that lifted the cache into my top 2% :-). View the cache page on geocaching.com

Stoughton Stumble	For the circuit. A super series - a lovely walk, with good size caches in good hides. The link is to the first one, beside the parking, which is way out of character with the rest of the series and rather lets the side down, but don't be put off by that. Unfortunately my visit was ended halfway, when both Maisie the GeoSpaniel and myself suffered multiple bee stings, but we will be back to finish it off. View the cache page on geocaching.com

Horror Hike	Definitely "a cache for the season" ... found at any other time of year, or in the daytime, they would lose some of the effect, but doing it on Halloween, at night and in the company of a large group of friends was exactly right. For best effect they need to be in good condition, and we were lucky to do them just after they had been maintained. All put together they were a super series, a nice location (not that we saw much of it in the dark and rain), with a good variety of hides, caches and "embellishments" :-).
