I have decided to place a series of caches to commemorate the end of the Space Shuttle program which is shutting down this year.


Between them the 5 shuttles have carried out 134 missions spending a combined total of just over 3 years in space and have orbited the Earth 20,710 times, a distance of over half a Billion Miles, quite impressive I'm sure you'll agree.


I have tried to spread out the caches some what in order to give everyone a chance at the FTF's and with the exception of the final, you are welcome to complete them in any order you like.



This cache is located on a rarely used footpath on the outskirts of Capenhurst,
parking co-ords are below.
