Is this a 5/5 cache
By: StickBouncer Date: October 24, 2013, 1:33 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have now submitted Losing My Religion - Digital Remaster.
GC4PXGB This is by far the hardest cache I have ever submitted.
To complete the stages you need a qr reader, solve a magic eye
puzzle, identify stages by photos taken at GZ and use a UV light
(not all at the same time) The trail is just over a mile long.
When solved the final is about 10 feet off the ground in a busy
part of the city and it is not possible to climb to. Most of the
terrain is pavement but there is a steep grass bank to negotiate
for one stage and I feel the final warrants a 5* on it's own.

It's really your opinion, but I've voted with mine :)
Sounds like a fun, interesting (and of course challenging)
cache :)

I always struggle when it comes to T/D and often alter them
after feed back as some that I think are very easy others
struggle with and visa-versa. It has been a bit of an ambition
of mine to create a 5/5 and think I may have finally done so. I
think my next challenge will be to set caches that fill the full
range of T/D and in doing so name them to cover the
alphanumerical range as there are some letters and numbers I am
going to travel miles for. Thanks for your vote

It's difficult to work out what the final bit is if you can't
climb, to me suggests some other method that allows you to reach
10ft high, so on that basis, I would have to mark down the
terrain. Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into it and
intrigues me to want to go and do it :) Only problem is when
I've tried a QR reader on my smart phone, it didn't work :o

I am not sure how to vote at the moment, sorry that doesn't
really help you does it :D It would be easy to rate the terrain
knowing more about the final, but then you would have to give
more details away. Just thinking of past experiences where it
has not been possible to climb up to a cache.. make a human
pyramid, or tie a rope and climb down? Or maybe just use a long
reach grab claw? If the latter I probably wouldn't rate a 5*
terrain myself, but at the same time it would be using special
equipment to get to, and so could be classed as a 5*
As for the first parts, the QR would not be a problem to me. The
magic eye would though as I would have to carry a laptop with a
program on to reveal the image to me as my eyes are not very
magic ;D

The magic eye and qr codes are on the cache page so can be read
prior to attempting the cache. They reveal the method of finding
the Co-ordinates once you reach the stage. This enables people
to attempt the cache if, like SangueG you need special equipment
that is difficult to carry.
The Final is magnetic and I placed it using a long reach grab
claw however the magnet is very strong and I could not retrieve
it with the claw. The only way I think it can be reached is
teamwork as per the attributes and sitting on someones shoulders
or similar. The location is a popular riverside walk within easy
site of a busy pub beer garden (I placed the cache at 4am on a
Sunday) It is on the underside of a bridge.
I do not mind saying about it here as I do not think there are
many Norfolk cachers on this site and they will still have to
complete the trail to get the right location [:)]
