Geocache Description:


Welcome to Flitwick - with a silent 'W'. This is a series of caches designed to increase Flitwick's presence on the caching map. They will be added gradually over the winter of 2010 / 2011.

If you wish to chase the FTF you'll have to come here often. Alternatively you may want to wait till all of them (I'm intending for them to be 15 plus a bonus cache) are in place.

Plan your own route around the delights of Flitwick!

THE COORDINATES ARE NOT THE LOCATION OF THE ACTUAL CACHE

Not the most scenic part of Flitwick, but Cache #13 is located close to the Maulden Road Industrial Estate, made up of Commerce Way and Enterprise Way. The industrial estate seems to have some thriving businesses creating jobs in the local area. Even though it is industrialised here, this corner of Flitwick has some greenery to soften it.

Every time I think of Enterprise Way, it makes me wonder Where's Captain Kirk? Before you can hunt for the cache you will need to work out its coordinates - everything you need is on this page.

N 52° 00.629 W 000° 29.225 HINT: bar onpx sebz gur fghzc

Once you have the coordinates, how you do this cache is up to you. You could park at the suggested parking, walk along the High Street, up The Ridgeway and across the fields. If this is too much of a 'Trek' for you, it can pretty much be done as a cache and dash from the end of Enterprise Way.

I did think about placing a magnetic nano or micro as there is loads for them to 'Klingon' to down Enterprise Way, but instead you've got a non-magnetic micro. It does contain a pencil (as well as the [captain's] log), but as always I do recommend you bring your own.

Don't forget to collect the information needed for the bonus. This is written on the front of the [captain's] log book. Please log any issues / DNF's - even with just a note so I can make sure the cache is still in place.
