Monkey Island |
A top TOP CACHE. It took me three visits on consecutive evenings to collect this one. The first evening I didn't even find my way to the base of the island. The second evening I got to within 5 feet of the top before my nerve failed me. The third evening I was absolutely determined to get there, and I did :-) .

King Of The Swingers - Double Locked |
Probably the most outrageous cache placement I can recall having seen :-). A tree climb, requiring climbing equipment, in a large and very beautiful, but also very busy pub beer garden. The location is gorgeous, right bedside the Exeter canal. The tree is simply magnificent. The garden is beautiful, and on a glorious summer day, at lunchtime, it was busy :-) . Luckily the majority of people are 100 feet away, on the staging by the river, else it would have been too dangerous to use a throw bag to set the rope. Normally I eschew muggly locations, but this one is different - it is SO over the top that it comes down the other side :-). And it has permission to be there, which makes me so much more comfortable. A cleverly turned out cache, neatly made, great attention to detail and some gentle humour. The only way I can think it might have got more points would be if the drinks were free :-) .

De Lank Valley |
I only came here as a prelude to "more important" caches on Bodmin Moor. Along a little lane, through a field, over a stile, down some crazy steps, and the valley unexpectedly opened up before me. A huge expanse of grass and bracken stretching as far as the eye could see. Getting to the cache location was a lengthy battle over steep, rough ground covered in dense vegetation, to reach an imposing rock formation. I can see it all in my mind as clearly now as when I walked it. Awesome. And it was a great cache, too.

If anyone wonders why this cache is not "top of the charts" it is because it starts with one hand behind its back - with no container there are a bunch of points that no virtual cache can earn. But in every other respect ... A tough cache, done in the company of my dearest friends :-).

Skir Hill Trail |
The TOP CACHE scoring system isn't really geared around trails, it tends to reward individually brilliant caches. But some circuits do make it, and this is one. A great range of dartmoor terrain and scenery, open moorland, springy turf, clitter, bogs, old mine workings and finally the gorgeous O Brook valley.

Tamar Treasure Trail |
So many amazing things about this cache - the inventiveness, originality, humour, technical ingenuity, the sheer scale of it, and the immense effort put into its creation. But it's a cache that needs a lot of maintenance for relatively few visits - when we attempted it, a couple of things didn't work. And these things were show-stoppers. We did eventually find the cache, but only because we had the luxury of phoning a previous finder to pass each "blockage". Without this, the cache would have had a huge TOP CACHE score - it may even have been the highest scoring cache in the West Country!

Three Wood Wander |
The cache page had the correct co-ordinates. My GPSr said a couple of feet, and there was nothing wrong with it. Then came the dawning realisation, perversely amusing, that I was still 200 feet from the cache. In the wet weather and very slippery ground it took another 2 mile walk to cover those 200 feet. It mattered not a jot that the cache had been muggled and stripped of all its contents, other than a note to say "Thanks for the stuff". I loved that moment of realisation, I loved the cache location, and I loved the superb walk beside the river back to my motor-cycle.

The Cave Troll's Other Lair |
I found the Cave Troll's Lair quite a while ago, and the "other" lair has been on my to do list for ages. On the way to Devon to walk the Devonport Leat I stopped of to tackle it. It took ages to battle my way through the undergrowth on the cliff to reach the start point. The cave itself was no problem as I've now been underground lots of times. But then there was the battle to get back up the cliff! Exhausting :-). Great location :-) .

The 239 Steps |
Only the second cache to receive an award for a DNF. Time and tide wait for no man, and it was the tide that ultimately stopped me from finding this one. A fantastic location for a cache, similar to though easier to get to and less difficult to climb than Monkey Island. This cache earned almost all of its points for the location and the WOW factor - had it been a better container, and better maintained, it could have been not just in my top 2% but right up there in my top 5 with Monkey Island. I believe the cache container has been replaced since my visit. And a final update - some years later, another visit turned this into a find :-) .

Devil's Tor |
A fairly remote cache at Merrivale, with difficult ground from east or west, though maybe much easier if approached directly. An interesting standing stone. Now archived.

Knowle Wood |
A couple of very well hidden caches on a great walk beside the River Meavy, near Dartmoor. Ultra tricky hides - take the spoiler photos!

The Lonely Trainspotter |
An unexpectedly good size, clean and well stocked container in an area where most of the hides were 35mm film pots or very small plastic boxes.

Lots of large containers on a lovely walk round the National Trust Arlington Court park, with some interesting sights on the way. The link is an arbitrary selection from the route.

Island in the Stream |
Unexpectedly difficult terrain in a "gorgeous" location near Meldon Reservoir, on a lovely sunny day in late winter. A real scramble to get to this one.
Leaving the island, and further downstream. Thanks to factotem for the photos. Click the images to expand them.

King Of The Swingers - Limbwalker Nightcache |
A very challenging cache, just the one tree but you need to explore all parts of it :-). Only reason for a lower score here is that the location isn't quite as lovely as some of the others.

Cox Tor |
Four caches in a scenic spot. At the time of my visit the caches themselves had been in place for a long time and were rather "worn", but they took me on a lovely walk and the views were terrific. The original series had now been archived, but there are still several caches on the tor.
