Geocache Description:

This cache is a replacement for my first ever cache, which has been sadly archived, By the Greene.

The description on this one will tell you about the link to Graham Greene.

Parking is available within a couple of metres of the cache so this could be done as a Cache and Dash.


The collective has just returned from a holiday to the Lake District where we participated in gorge scrambling, rock climbing and a tree top walk. Two of these elements have been combined as the inspiration for the cache. I'll let you guess which one isn't involved! I was also given a selection of tricky cache containers for my recent birthday by PCMTE so had to use one of those as well.

This could well be a dangerous cache so please note the D/T rating, wear good shoes, have second thoughts if it's raining or slippy and only continue if you feel safe. You attempt this at your own risk!

You should have a good idea of what's in store but when you reach GZ there is really only one possibility. Good luck. When you are signing the log in situ I should be able to see you out of my window so give me a wave! Have to be quick going up for this one as there are likely to be muggles passing regularly.

The rating reflects the physical challenge and the cache container. Let me know if you think this needs adjusting.

Finally, make sure you take a pen and have this close to hand. And a good sense of balance.

The first couple of finders have had problems getting the log out - the cache does unscrew so please do this (rather than take the entire thing off) before retreating to a safer place to extract and sign. Bonus points for those who sign in situ though.

This cache also contains a hint for another puzzle of mine - Exercise for mind and body which is rated as 5/5. When I say "contains" this isn't strictly true due to the size of the container. I really mean that if you find this cache then please email me for the hint and after I've shimmied up to check the log I'll send it on.
