- Found it
After an aperitif of Groundspeak caches, I arrived at the cache for which I made this journey today. It was fortunate that one of the caches in Littleheath Woods had taught me what sort of tree I should be looking for, as otherwise I wouldn't have recognised it, but standing where my GPSr said was GZ, I couldn't see one !
So I set off on a spiral course until I found one. And I spotted the cache, no problem. But how to get it?
I've done several caches requiring this particular activity, but none that were just so downright awkward to get to 
. I have to assume that the cache setter is fitter, slimmer and more flexible than this old fart 
.
Now, to get the cache I cheated. And after having cheated, I signed the log, took nothing, left a polished "Tiger's Eye" stone and dropped off a lovely little "Miss Spring Betty" Geokret.
But while I had recovered the cache by cheating, there was no way I could put it back by cheating. For some considerable time I pondered the dilemma into which I had placed myself.
I made several unsuccessful attempts to return it from different angles, and for a while there existed the very real possibility that I would find myself in the excruciatingly embarrasing position of having to explain to the cache owner that I couldn't put it back !!! The thought of this was so mortifying that I simply HAD to find a way, and, as they say, needs must. It wasn't at all easy, but I just kept going until it was there. What a relief !!!
Thanks for a top cache,
Rgds, Andy
