- Found it
This was one of three abanazar high terrain puzzle caches that were our primary objectives on my visit from Surrey with Amberel today. Although this was the easiest of the three physically, I found it to be the hardest puzzle 
.
Part 1 of the puzzle was not a problem. Part 2 was much trickier and I never did locate the characters I needed. However, after a fair amount of searching I did find something that was close enough and which started giving some meaningful text. There did seem to be a few ambiguities so both Amberel and I decoded it separately and checked our answers. I was pleased to find that they agreed 
.
So with Amberel and digdug123 we followed the decoded instructions and what followed. I particularly liked one stage that has given me ideas for a future cache of our own .
And so onwards to the underground part of the quest that the cache description warns about. This was my first experience of such a type of cache. I followed the others and before long they had found the cache, but not just any cache. Instead of them opening it and passing me back the log to sign I was encouraged to squeeze past to see it before it was opened. It was good to see the theme carried through all the way from cache page to the box itself 
.
The box was passed back to me to open, but like FTFers we also almost lost the jinni . Thankfully digdug spotted it before it was too late.
Thanks for a fun introduction to this style of cache.
