I Took the GC to Oman but sadly failed to find any of the caches in the Muscat area, partly because of limited time (I was supposed to working after all) but also because of the four that I tried to reach, they were all in very precarious locations at the end of very steep climbs on rocks that are very crumbly. If you are going to Oman beware - the difficulty scores on many of the caches are very underated in my opinion. I photographed the TBs and GC that I took with me only about 30 meteres from the SEA VIEW 1 cache in Muscat (according to the GPSR) and the only way was up an almost vertical climb. Sadly my age and fitness level let me down at the last minute after a very hard climb. So I couldn't log in and out, but only a technical failure as far as the TB is concerned IT NEARLY MADE IT!
I will now take him onto the second part of the planned journey - Western Australia in about two weeks, where due to the lack of mountains I hope to be more successful!
