5/5 plantation(ignore list 1)

whilst on a nice stroll in twigmoor........
we walked past a 5/5 cache up a tree,,then we came to what i thought would make a great 3 or 4 dif tree climbing cache......i climbed so high then stopped to judge difficulty level,after a few minutes owen who was with me had ceased making any noise,so assuming he was with me i turned around .....nope,,,then looked up and up and up and up.
there he was a tiny little speck way up attaching the cache!
oh dear,,,i now really think this is a 5/5 climb,if anyone gets it maybe they could give feedback,and i will adjust down if needed??
the cache is a waterbottle in black tape suspended from string..and i think its very very tough indeed.
you would need to stand on ground and scour the the tree tops ,maybe with binoculars to spot the cache,a rope or very long ladder would probably be a help,but you would need to consider the distance to gz.
to make sure you get the right tree,use the hint,and feel free to add extra hint items to help seekers who will come after you.
above all,think safety,consider your own abilitys,and please have someone with you.
the cache is placed there for seekers of such caches,rather then a base of tree/post etc.......if unsure hit the ignore button.
good luck,this is one of two caches dedicated to owen,who never actually made it back down the tree(only joking!!)...thought it was about time he took the blame for some of my caches.
however the journey down the tree is alot worse then going up,you will see why when there.
the cache is best reached by following the trail from the 5/5 nearby
ps; to be fair to people actually reaching this cache....all find logs must be actually signing of cache,anyone just seeing the cache but not signing will be deleted.sorry folks but i think thats only fair,to people who have completed the climb.
UPDATE;BEEN BACK TO CHECK ON THIS AND SEEKERS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING BY LOOKS OF GZ,NOW LOOKS EVEN HARDER,HOWEVER BE ASSURED I MYSELF HAVE REACHED THE CACHE,BUT MAYBE NOT BY THE CONVENTIONEL METHOD??THINK OUTSIDE THE NORMAL TREE CLIMBING CACHE,I WILL ADD A TOOL TO HELP IF UNFOUND AFTER A FEW WEEKS....BE WARNED THOUGH IT WILL STILL BE EXTREMELY TOUGH TO WARRANT A 5/5.
