Kayak Capers	A lovely paddle down a beautiful river to find 7 Kayak Capers caches, plus a Choppy Waters cache. One of the caches is very challenging! View the cache page for #1 on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Over the Rainbow	A very tough one for me. I was by climbing myself, and had to repitch in the tree and then climb above the anchor point, both of which I find exceptionally difficult! View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Virgo Virginum	If anyone wonders why this cache is not "top of the charts" it is because it starts with one hand behind its back - with no container there are a bunch of points that no virtual cache can earn. But in every other respect ... A tough cache, done in the company of my dearest friends :-). View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

A Dizzy Tree Top View	One of the scariest tree climbs I've done, very high but also very open and exposed, nothing at all around you, which is the worst thing for my phobia. Wizbit100 near the cache :-). Click the images to expand them. View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Blistering Barnacles!	Recognised the theme of the puzzle immediately, and knew exactly what I needed to do, though it remained a pain in the neck to actually DO it ;-) . And the final was a similar mix - a good climb in the middle of a sea of head high nettles! View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Eye Level	An unusual setting in a lovely location. A challenge to get to the base of the tree, a challenge to get the line up and a challenge to make the climb! View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com

Free as a Bird	This award is really for a varied collection of free climbs at Canford Park of which "Free as a Bird" was the best (i.e. most scary) :-). I would have found them much easier using equipment, but the c/o was watching :-) . View the cache page on geocaching.com View the geocoin page on geocaching.com
