+Rocky Balboa Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) The Super cache - A hide to beat all others. An elite stash. A lunch box puzzle or location so stunning in artistry, deviousness or visual beauty that it blew you away. I'd love to know which caches met or surpassed the above standards for you as I'd very much like to pay them a visit It's nice to be able to pop out and bag something quick and easy when I've got a spare hour to play with, but when you've stopped chasing numbers (yes I have only 804 finds to my name but when I was a newbie watering at the mouth for that scent of plasticy goodness in 2001, a 50 mile round trip was the regular to bag just one Tupperware delicacy!) you want that something extra special to get you out of your armchair (other chair types available) So which caches would you put into the champions league of our little hobby? Cryptic souls crews 'Decaying hospital' with its asbestos riddled corridors and graffiti clad ruins was a gem that I will never forget - or recommend for children! Little cemetery safari could give the infirm a heart attack and like nothing i'd ever seen before or will again i'm sadly sure! and Mashers 'Mission Impossible' with its intricate puzzles and creative genius are the three that spring to mind, all archived but never forgotten. What were yours and why? This is not intended as advertising although I suppose it might be, I'd just like some exciting travels once again as me and caching have lost the spark in our once healthy relationship, and we want to get back to how it was when we first met.

+MooToo Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I can think of several down in the South East ,anything by tzus is always fun and an inspiration to ourselves and other cachers,also if you fancy the challenge binbags pesky pillbox series are fun(for the slightly deranged).MooToo Quote Link to comment

First off - two EXCELLENT night (reflector trail) caches: In the steps of Beelzebub The Grinshill Ghoul This series is nice and easy but has magnificent views Snowdon View This is a quick cache but a clever hide - first of it's kind i'd done: ' Confederate Hideout ' One of the best puzzle's i've done/solved:- Illumination Probably my fave cache:- ALL TOOLED UP These sound like Rocky Balboa type caches - LOTS of driving and TB hunting:- Stencil Stash and Interception and They Seek Us Here, They Seek Us There Here's three great/epic cache series:- The Zodiac Series and Alchemy Quest and ALPHA QUEST and finally, one I've tried a couple of time but have yet to complete....

+Harry the furry squid Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I liked the Alphabet Challenge - round Dartmoor, lots of good views. (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e4a2ffcc-9ad9-4bac-b9e4-3717fd67385c) Quote Link to comment
+janw7256 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Try GC1AF96 Whitespace 4/4 or GC1NH6O Werewolf 5/5 Once you've solved the puzzles, book a weekend up north to go get 'em Quote Link to comment
+PopUpPirate Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Those listed here are the picks of the picks : http://www.jeremy-r.com/geocaching/tbrace/checkpoints.php JeremyR compiled 'em from peoples favourite bookmarks lists and hand-picked the most exceptional ones. Gotta say those that I've visted on there are top notch. Edited March 19, 2009 by PopUpPirate Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Anything by ac-p has to be up there, but a few of his that I love are: Suspension The Clairvoyant And finally... the one that had us all stumped for weeks when it first came out..... The lost treasure of Disco Jack All of them based around Chester... Disco Jack forms the 1st part of what went on to become a series of 3 caches, and I believe there is a fourth in the planning.... although all the others can be done as stand alones.... if you can solve them!

Ditto - all of these are excellent caches, also check out caches by Pieman. In particular Blink and K Quote Link to comment

+Jonovich Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Blindmouses' "The Curse of the Black Cat" has to be on my list! A most awesome and involved cache the likes of which I have not seen anywhere else. Jon. Edited March 20, 2009 by Dakar4x4 Quote Link to comment
