Geocache Description:

Caching. The Final Frontier. These are the journals of the dedicated cachers. Their ongoing mission to explore new areas, to seek out new caches, to bold go where no cacher has gone before (if they want a first to find.......)

The cache has been placed in line with the "Leave No Trace" principles so there is no need to tear up the countryside.


The cache is not at the coordinates but can only be found by solving the puzzle below.

Pictured are ships from Star Trek. What you need to do is identify the class of ship, count the number of letters in the name of the class and put it into the formula below. Large pictures are available in the gallery.

Ship A Ship B
Ship C Ship D Ship E Ship F
