TREE SURGEONS SAUNTER
#3
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 Sycamore.
Sycamore is Europe's
largest maple, which can grow upto 25 plus metres. It can withstand
salty winds and so is useful in coastal planting. A useful
windbreak so is often seen in parts of Scotland especially around
farmhouses. Propagation is easy using freshly picked seed. Maturing
quickly, it can be felled for valuable timber within 60 years, but
the life expectancy is near to 200 years.
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.
The cache is a cammoed "large" bison style containing a log book
and pencil only. There is room for micro coins or a small TB.
ONLY THOSE WHO CLIMB THE TREES CAN LOG THE FIND. AS VITAL AS GROUND
SUPPORT OFTEN IS IT DOES'NT GET YOU A
5/5.
