GizmoKyla: Hi RockSniffer,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention.

We notice that no action has been taken by the owner to correct the issue, could the owner please check this cache and give an indication of when it may be sorted out.

If there is no response to this log after 30 days we will archive the cache.

In the meantime we are disabling it.

Guidelines:

  • You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.) or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem.

You are permitted a reasonable amount of time --generally, up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache.
If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that we and other cachers can see what your intentions are.

After you maintained your cache, enable your cache page and post an “Owner Maintenance” log.

Please DO NOT send an email about this cache in case we don't receive it. Posting a note will ensure your cache does not get archived in error.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A straightforward trad that is approx 20ft up a very climbable tree on Shaldon Ness. Parking very nearby. It's perfectly possible to climb much higher, but the cache location is too perfect to climb past. Just go up for fun!

Since I started geocaching I've really come to enjoy the tree-climbs best. Now I've managed to put a few back out there around here.
 
The first King Of The Swingers was in what appears to be the tallest tree in Ashclyst Forest, and was quite challenging. This one is a much more straightforward climb. Everyone has different abilities and certainly I've met people who are far bigger monkeys than me, and far less intrepid ground-dwelling apes. I placed this cache with no equipment and it is rated with that in mind.
 
Do not attempt this cache without:
  • A pen.
That's probably it. Sensible people would not do it alone, just in case.
 
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 cache is in quite a populated area, but most people passing are in vehicles and will not notice you and your dislocated hip at the bottom of the tree. Due to the nature of the area, please use stealth.
