What's your most memorable FTF?
By: Griff Grof Date: June 28, 2014, 8:13 am
---------------------------------------------------------
If you've been fortunate enough to clock up many FTFs, you'll
have a most memorable one!
Whether it was for good or bad reasons, the find, the journey,
the achievement or the challenge... Share your story/reasons for
it ranking as your most memorable.
Will share my own later.

Has to be this one:
The Final Revelation (GC3VJ32)
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC3VJ32
Especially as you had to solve and find 65 other puzzles first
to be in a position to find it, that doesn't include all the
field stages of the other puzzles either.
The final was fitting, multi stage with not one but two ammo
boxes along the way with various field puzzles to solve too.

I have had a few FTFs, or joint FTFs, but none so involved as
that one.
A fairly recent one was this one Head in the Clouds : SS19
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC501MJ. Solved the puzzle quickly and headed
out there with xJ. The physical part wasn't as extreme as you
might imagine by looking at the cache page, but overall the
solving quickly, getting to it first, and finding it at night
was great fun.
The Works
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC3F0NV was my quickest FTF. Technically xJ
was the FTF, but we were both there together. The cache page
shows that xJ found in 34mins and I found in 40mins. For the
record those times included getting into the car, driving a
mile, finding / signing, then going home again firing up the PC
and logging, no mobile phones used that day. So all in all we
were quite pleased with those times :)

Blimey which do I choose ???
EE15 - Elgar Enigma - The Final Variation
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC11FZ5
This was a great series, with many locations to visit, all on a
Elgar theme to celebrate in 2007 the 150th anniversary of Edward
Elgar's birth, before finally getting to this final cache of the
series. There were also several other cachers on the hunt to get
FTF which added to the 'fun', with a added bonus of a prize, a
set of Elgar CD's. Bumped into one of them while at one location
;D
Looking for Linda
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GCYK2B
This is a great location and quite a challenge as it isn't
straight forward. This was my first underground cache several
years before the BA caches and my first ever FTF ;D
Hippos Below
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC1C47M
Well this is an amazing adventure into the dark with a boat. Not
only is it tricky to get to the cache as you need a boat but
just getting to the start of the tunnel. This is lots of fun and
I've been down the tunnel three times so far ;D
and I can't not mention Below Above - Mind The Trains
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC2GT74
First you had to decrypt the page to find the start and the
route you needed to take and then off underground in a great
location, lots of history, lots to see (in the dark!), an
amazing place ;D

[member=3]walktall[/member], WOW! I'd be happy just to do those
caches, never mind FTF them, thanks for sharing :-)

Yes, wow, thank you for sharing all those caches everyone! :)
TJ, agree that Nyctophobia would be very memorable given what
happened a few nights later ;)
Well, so far I've only had 14 FTFs, and non since January 2013
:o
I have a bookmark list
HTML http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=845ef942-9a5f-40c7-9d98-a226b70ad7f8<br
/>of all my FTFs so far.
Perhaps one of my most memorable is simply the first - Jesters
Willow
HTML http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=845ef942-9a5f-40c7-9d98-a226b70ad7f8<br
/>- purely because [member=13]Wacky races[/member] and I felt an
overwhelming sense of achievement after discovering we finally
found one first - I reckon everyone has felt this way too :)
I reckon A Break From the Norm 1 - Round the Bend
HTML http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=a8c2c22c-33e9-4491-8ba8-01c80240dd63<br
/>has to be up there too - we had just completed the series afte
r
DNFing this one at the very start, but we bumped in to
[member=9]Wrighty[/member] and [member=4]tarmacjohn[/member] at
the parking coords, where they used their PAF card, leading us
to the ingenious first step, and subsequently to the cache.
Feel free to share more memorable FTF's that come to mind if
you've shared yours already, and if you haven't, then please do
feel free :)
