Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above coordinates.
This is a circular walk of about 6km through gently rolling farm land. It consists of 15 puzzle caches.
A pencil and paper maybe of use to note down coordinates and work out your next move.

Frederick Joseph "Fred" Flintstone is a fictional character who originated in the animated sitcom
The Flintstones that ran from 1960 to 1966 on ABC in the USA. He is the husband of Wilma Flintstone and father of
Pebbles Flintstone. His best friends are his next door neighbours, Barney and Betty Rubble, who have a son named
Bamm-Bamm.

Fred lives in the fictional prehistoric town of Bedrock, at 345 Cave Stone Road (in some episodes, 1313 Cobblestone Way)
, a world where dinosaurs coexist with modernized barefoot cave people and the cave people enjoy "primitive" versions of
modern conveniences such as telephones, automobiles, and washing machines.

Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, The Flintstones is about a working class Stone Age man's life with his family and
his next door neighbour and best friend. The show played heavily on its juxtaposition of modern-day concerns in the
Stone Age setting. And it was the first prime-time animated series geared for adults.

The first part of this puzzle is to find Fred !

Using your GPS (preferably one with a map) find the following Geocache locations GC185VK, GC1M414 and GC1AJ12.
Now draw an imaginary line joining them together.

Somewhere within the triangle you have just formed is Calvert's Farm, this will be your starting point. Using the above picture of Fred line up his ear with the farm and hay presto Fred's outline will match up with a series of quiet lanes and public footpaths.

NB. There are plenty of parking spaces near FF1.

FF1. This First cache in the series is at the back of Fred's head. At the farm entrance make a note of the coordinates and add 0.163 to the North and 0.091 to the West.

NB. If you get a chance why not cross the road and have a look in the church, there are
some stunning stained glass windows. Sunday is probably the best day for access.
