+The Flying Boots Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Next Sunday 21st June we're planning to find a 5/5 cache "Hippos Below" GC1C47M as it'll be our 1000th find and we were wondering if anyone would care to join us to turn this into a bit of a party. We propose to meet at the car parking co-ordinates at 10.00am so just turn up or contact us here or through our profile. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CANOE TYPE BOAT/LIFEJACKET/PADDLES etc. Should be fun Quote Link to comment
+ayepee Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Would have loved to join you as it is just down the road from me. Unfortunately, next Sunday is a work day for me. Oh well!, perhaps another day. Quote Link to comment

+keehotee Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Would love to do it, but can't next sunday - but when you're done, any clues as to why it's a 5 difficulty would be much appreciated.... Quote Link to comment
+ayepee Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think that the special equipment that the flying boots mention may give a clue as to why it is rated 5-5 tony Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think that the special equipment that the flying boots mention may give a clue as to why it is rated 5-5 tony That would certainly account for the 5 terrain - but the co-ords seem to take you to the cache, so wondered where the 5 difficulty came from?

+Delta68 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Are there any TRUE 5/5s? The Chiltern Hundred bonus is listed as a 5/5. It might be 5 difficulty as you have to walk about 26 miles but it certainly isn't 5 terrain! Mark Quote Link to comment
+LinseyG Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Are there any TRUE 5/5s? Wildcat when it was around. Puzzle to get there - specialist equipment to get to the cache. Shame it went as it was probably my favourite cache so far. Lins Quote Link to comment

+Team-Harvey Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sound like Fun..... we will be doing some 5/5's ourselves that weekend though - we are heading off to The Lakes to tackle The Quest for the ring of Power series .... Hope you have fun though, and advance congrats! Quote Link to comment
+The Flying Boots Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 We've got one taker so far. SidAndBob Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'd love to, but can't this weekend as we hope to be putting our kitchen and utility room back into some semblance of order before heading off to west Cornwall for the week. Anyway, I'd probably be a liability because I can't swim and would have to wear water wings Hope it goes well. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+The Flying Boots Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Anyway, I'd probably be a liability because I can't swim and would have to wear water wings MrsB What!!! You never mentioned that when we got into a boat to get "Wild Cat" Quote Link to comment
+The Flying Boots Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Stupidly and I don't know why I didn't think of this before but our Canadian Canoe seats 4 people and we can use it in shifts if no-one has a boat of their own or can't borrow one. Torches too are a must. Quote Link to comment
+The Flying Boots Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Looks like this'll be a double celebration as "Wrighty" is now going to join us and it'll be his 1000th also. Quote Link to comment

+wrighty Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Well it was certainly a day to remember. Many thanks to the Flying Boots and Sid and Bob making it all possible. Mrs Wrighty thought it was called Swimming with Hippos Quote Link to comment
