Note, immediately beyond the cache is a dangerous drop. The cache is inside a low, derelict but obvious man made wall. There is no need to approach the drop. This cache is unsuitable for unsupervised children. We approached the feature on which the cache is located from the east but the safest route is from the north east.
The following extract is taken from the log of Scarinian: Jorvik had carried me up the 4000 feet climb. I felt desperately tired. Towards the top of the climb I had recalled how the Enchanted Sword of Scalim had flashed in the sunlight as it carved its way through the Baboonian warriors. Then I recalled the foretelling of The Old Widow Hag From Kingdom “You will fight the Baboonian twice as you climb and though difficult and taxing, the first fight will be easier than the second which will take place closer to the top where the fruit givers attract the warriors in their hordes. Rest near the top so that you are refreshed for the second challenge. But sleep off-route so that you are safe from passers though take care because safe from passers by is very different to safe from Baboonians. Hide the Sacred Tupperware Container from Riyadh well so that Baboonians and picnickers will not find it.” What wise words indeed and so I did as she bade finding a small area surrounded by a low wall in which I hid the container and wrapping myself in my cloak I fell into a deep sleep.
