RealFireFlies finally gets 300!

At the end of last year, myself, Pip_Squeek and two of the AntiCachers went out to finish Thorney's Road Trip and collect a new and exciting cache - GC4VKER - 4.5m up a tree. We finished the series off and went out to check this cache, but it was too high to simply climb (much to my AntiCacher's dismay) and we had to return another day. I was approaching 300, so we decided that we would assign this special cache to the special milestone.

Recently El-Woodio and I had been out on a very rainy day to collect the Doddington Bypass series which never got blogged, and collected a few of the Hello Huntingdonshire caches - a series I desperately want to complete - which took me up to 298.

This morning would be the day, we decided. One of the AntiCachers is resident in Lincoln, and was visiting for the weekend, and we had perfect weather. With a folding ladder packed into the GeoCar, we swung by GC4MVDN - Thorney Fen Micro to grab a quick find for #299 before heading to GZ.

Recent logs had left us puzzled on this cache; when we visited before we had found in simple to spot and our GPSr, although taking some time to settle, did find the correct tree. Today it located the right tree almost instantly and again, the cache was easily spotted from the ground, as promised. The anticachers set the ladder up, and although we experienced high winds which made me highly uncomfortable as my AntiCacher opted to climb the ladder, we quickly had the cache in hand, signed and replaced!

The Anti-Cachers scale the tree...

Kinzey23 has a lovely little cache here and it definitely comes highly recommended from us! It has also given me a chance to chat to him and get some hints on some his puzzles... None of us are particularly puzzle orientated, so hopefully this will help us!
