My partner and her husband (my metamour) have a tradition that every 5th wedding anniversary they get the "next size up" of champagne bottle.
This meant that on yesterday, when we celebrated their 15th, we needed to get through a Methuselah: a massive 6 litre bottle equivalent to nine standard bottles of champagne (rightmost in the attached picture).

A half bottle, standard bottle, magnum, Jeroboam, and Methuselah of Bollinger champagne lined up on a window ledge, with a banana for scale.
It's times like these you're glad of friends you can call on to help you drink such a monster!

This checkin to GC49ERR #5 Billy Wynt - Up Top reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Wow, definitely had to go off the beaten track for this one. I took a route up and tightly alongside the fence, and only after getting to the GZ did I discover the easier …

Found GC49ERC #4 Billy Wynt - Take a Seat
This checkin to GC49ERC #4 Billy Wynt - Take a Seat reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found after a brief search, but not in the (pretty obvious) hint location. Looks like it had been found by muggles and just "thrown" back. Log was blank. SL, TFTC. Great view!

This checkin to GC49EQW #3 Billy Wynt - Feeling Peckish reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Had to give up on this one. 😢
Between a great fix, a clear clue, and CO maintenance only last week I figured this was a sure thing. But somehow it wasn't to be, no … -
Found GC49EQA #2 Billy Wynt - Little Home
This checkin to GC49EQA #2 Billy Wynt - Little Home reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A brief shower gave me cause for concern - I didn't come dressed for weather - but I pressed on and was rewarded with this cool hide. TFTC.

This checkin to GC49AEB #1 Billy Wynt - Cattle Grid reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Woke earlier than my friends who'd been to a wedding last night, and used that as an excuse for a quick walk up the hill. Easy find: second place I looked! TFTC. Greetings from …

Found GC6A6R5 Six Summits Challenge #5
This checkin to GC6A6R5 Six Summits Challenge #5 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Second of the two caches I set out to find this morning after spending last night at nearby Wilderhope Manor to celebrate my partner's husband's sister's wedding. This leg of the walk was especially beautiful, providing …

Remember Go Ape?
When we went to Go Ape at the tail end of Ruth & JTA's Stag/Hen Weekend party, we had no idea that we'd have such an impact on one little girl as we evidently did. Maybe we should dress as superheroes when we go to Go Ape next time (in March!), too...
