Geocache Description:

DO NOT attempt to park near the cache. Parking is available in the backstreets immediately to the east. This cache series is intended for cycling/motoring (or the bus!). It is a lengthy walk (in excess of a 6 mile around trip) to complete all three in the series, which are all in publicly accessible areas - no land/field boundaries need to be crossed.

This cache location is wheelchair accessible but the container is not (unless you have long arms!).

Extreme stealth required - you will be very exposed

Captain Marko Ramius plans to defect in the Soviet Union's newest missile submarine,

the Red October

To evade detection he plans to use Red Route One - a precisely surveyed route through submarine canyons which ends at a feature called Thor's Twins

This location marks the start of Red Route One - once found the cache reveals a precise bearing and range to Thor's Twins GC18JQ7 Thor's Twins.

Once there you will receive a further update, to enable you to locate Red October
