This cache has been archived.

doyboyz: Some real tree surgeons have sauntered this way and the mighty ash is no more!
They did fill in the log book with John & Roger woz ere 6/4/13 & leave the cache on the stump, so if they ever become Cachers they can retro log this!!

I will place a new Tree Surgeons Saunter #2 ( Mk 2) soon.

Thanks to everyone who took the Challange to scale the heights.

Karl.

Geocache Description:

TREE SURGEONS SAUNTER #2

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.

Cache is a cammoed screw top sample bottle (unused!!)contains a log book and pencil only .

ONLY THOSE WHO ACTUALLY CLIMB THE TREES MAY LOG THE FIND, AS VITAL AS GROUND SUPPORT OFTEN IS IT DOESN'T GET YOU A 5/5.

FTF- Flamedodger- Well done!!
