Uno dei Trenta — Residential (Amberel Top Cache geocoin)

Still in the same location but I had to modify the hide slightly; see corresponding cache log. Spoiler photo attached.

I am very pleased to be able to discover this wonderful coin having completed such a monumental task. Thanks

We made it 🙂 ! First and foremost I must say a huge thanks to Abanazar for creating each one of the 'unholy trinity' of Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate ~ Earanaes paes wyrmes denn ~ il Nono, all of which Lucinda1904 and I have finally conquered.
In August '16 Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate was successfully undertaken, discovering Charon's Obol Geocoin in the adventure.
In October '16 the dragons den was entered where dragons were indeed encountered.
In December '16 il Nono was attempted unsuccessfully as we turned back about half way from the Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate cache to the il Nono cache and coin locations due to increasing fatigue.
Finally. in April '17 we have visited the il Nono cache site and also discovered Uno dei trenta geocoin.
These were a series of character building, life enhancing achievements for us despite all the effort, fatigue and being thoroughly caked in mud !
For me il Nono was a journey beyond 'the twilight zone' .
Thank you Abanazar.

What an adventure with cjfoundit!
Spanning almost a year from these caches initially sparking our interest and instigating puzzle solving, collecting the necessary equipment, planning and preparing for each of our three (and a half!) amazing adventures which tackled Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate and Earnanæs, þæs wyrmes den and, ultimately, il Nono Cerchio.
We had decided on Good Friday '17 to make our second attempt and once back in the familiar chamber of Lasciate we descended into the abyss, hoping that this time we could reach the cache site and geocoin location.
Fast forward a good few hours during which we ascended, descended, twisted, turned, stretched, squeezed, pushed, pulled and…we made it!
After admiring the nearby flowstone and surroundings we approached the cache location and soon spotted the tell-tale sign of GZ. 'smaughunter' had reported dropping the cache container a metre or so down through boulders back in September '16 so we had a good look around – both in the obvious ‘nook’ and in the vicinity, finding some out of place line caught up between the rocks but not the cache container. In the end we settled on leaving our names tucked behind the familiar tell-tale sign of GZ before heading off to discover this treasured resident geocoin Uno dei Trenta.
With our mission complete we exited the ninth circle, retracing our steps until we found ourselves back out in the fresh night air…muddy, tired and delighted with our achievements! It was most definitely a long and challenging journey like no other, but teamwork, courage and determination in an amazing location made this a thoroughly enjoyable and truly memorable experience. Huge thanks to Abanazar for these three excellent caches – for the ultimate challenge of il Nono, for sharing this beautiful geocoin and for the journey, experience and adventure along the way!

Unless you try it ,there is no way to anticipate the amount of work involved in discovering this coin. I am grateful to my team mates rocksniffer and yukonhuskies for the rope assistance in and out of the chimneys and for my magic dragon claw shoes that enable me to walk on walls and my lizard body to creep through holes. This was probably the hardest 100m I have ever travelled but the far rift was so very worth the effort. Thanks to Abanazar for beckoning me here and good luck to all others that attempt to find it.
