I met up with Wizbit100 to tackle this one. We figured there were two main decent routes and chose the one nearest to what we considered the coords first, against my better judgment... ;O)

It wasn't there.

So I climbed back up and descended where I thought it was likely to be.

It wasn't there either.

However, from my vantage point I was able to spot it quite a way down what turned out to be a third ascent that we hadn't really considered...! So down we sped and quickly had it signed.

Hooray! My 2000th find and my 50th 5/5. Thanks for a tremendous milestone.

Found while kicking around waiting for Wizbit100 to finish work and tackle another climb together. This was great! I was nervous of not finding the track through the trees, but that turned out to be easy.

Then I was nervous of maybe finding it hard to locate the cache during the descent, having read previous logs, but excellently I just descended a bit of a way, stopped to have a look around, and found it next to my face. Ace.

Thanks for a great cache. I've done lots of trees but very few 'proper' descents. This was a cracker.

Thanks for the cache.

Discovered in the drizzly rain but still a great cache. The only drawback turns out to be the little tiny gaps that like to eat throw lines and, having just tidied up at Tip Toe Wall from my stuck throwbag and line last time, AND finding someone else's lost line, I was more than nervous of losing another one! However, three or four throws and I had it neatly between two decently sized gaps and up I went.

If only somebody had warned me HOW BLOODY SCARY IT IS when a train goes past below! Wow!

Thanks for another typically splendid cache.

Right... So... I arrived after crossing the recently ploughed and therefore evil to walk on field, then the relative bliss of the next grassy one, and on to the bridge. Jumped over, swing around, found I needed a tool, climbed back up, REALISED THE TOOL WAS ON MY HARNESS, signed the cache, climbed down, swing back into place, then climbed back up.

Except, while climbing back up there was a deep and ominous plop, and I quickly realised it was the sound of an iPhone 4 falling irretrievably into the River Mole.

GAAAAAAH!

So this cache has cost me dearly.

However, it was nevertheless a tremendous cache, for which I thank you Mr Nutter.

Find number 1999. Where next...?!
