TREE SURGEONS SAUNTER #2 (MKII)
This is a replacement for the original ash which sadly went under the surgeons knife!
A mini series of caches named after the 3 star classic gritstone rock climb Surgeons Saunter, on Stanage Edge in the Peak District, first climbed in 1953 by Pete Biven.
The Common Ash.
The ash tree can grow to a height of 30m, with a spread of 20m. It is deciduous, with leaves which are divided into 9-13 leaflets whose proper botanical shape is termed pinnate. These leaves give the tree a feathery outline in summer, and a yellow colour in autumn.
No prizes for guessing what is required to get yer mitts on this one!
Please note the terrain rating, these caches are serious undertakings, for which you MUST have the required experience and equipment. A fall from any of these could easily prove fatal.
Please do not think you can climb these unprotected, the caches are all high in the canopy, branches can snap, a gust of wind could put you off balance.... you get the picture.
OK health and safety lecture over- if you like your caches to be on the challenging (extreme) side you'll love this, have fun doing it take plenty of photos and include them in your logs if you can.
The cache is a cammoed screw top pot containing a log book and pencil only. There is room for micro coins or a small TB.
ONLY THOSE WHO CLIMB THE TREES CAN LOG THE FIND. AS VITAL AS GROUND SUPPORT OFTEN IS IT DOES'NT GET YOU A 5/5.
