Geocache Description:

A straightforward trad that is 80ft up a nice tall tree at the highest point in Ashclyst Forest. Parking very nearby.

Since I started geocaching I've really come to enjoy the tree-climbs best. Now I think I've done all the big ones around Devon, it's time to put some out. Although the name of this cache suggests a series, it is not. Not yet. I plan to add to the list as and when I find appealing climbs.

This first King Of The Swingers is in what I believed to be the tallest tree on the highest point of Ashclyst forest. (It's not, I have discovered.) I've not made it to the top yet since when I was fixing the cache the wind really picked up and my confidence went through my boots and the 80ft back to the ground. I know it's 80-odd feet since the 50m rope I used doubled over the branch and did not quite reach the ground. So you'll need a rope at least that long. But of course that's not all.

Do not attempt this cache without:

A climbing buddy
A 50m rope
A harness
A pen!

Nobody - not me, not geocaching.com, not your lucky pants - is responsible for your safety apart from YOU. Do not attempt if you are at all unsure. The ground is nice and soft but not soft enough!
