Five Go Down to the Sea	Part of the fun of these caches is the way that what you have to do is matched to the story line :-). A series of 6 culvert caches. By no means the most difficult ones I've done, but WAY the longest :-) . View the cache page for the trickiest one on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Jaggers Clough	A fabulous walk following the path of the stream onto the Kinder plateau, which had remained unfinished business for me as I was unable to complete it on my first attempt due to a dodgy knee. Returned 15 months later to find the remaining caches in the series, which were in even more outstanding locations than the lower ones, and the rating has been bumped up accordingly. Now archived as the owners are no longer able to maintain the caches - a loss to caching :-( . Factotem at Jaggers Clough #8, looking down the clough towards #7. Click the image to expand it.

The Emperor's Quest	This series took the highly unusual form of a fairy tale continued on each cache page, loosely related to the cache at that stage. I've taken the liberty of naming this from the most enjoyable part of the route as the series doesn't really have a name as such. Some great scenery, and a few out of the ordinary hides to make it more interesting :-) . Click the image to expand it.
