Geocache Description:


This is an ongoing series of caches to celebrate arguably the most influential decade in the history of popular music, the swinging sixties, so grab a granddad to help you out. The clues relate to artists, records &/or films of the decade and will require Internet searches to work out the final co-ordinates of the cache. What you have to find will be made clear in the narrative, but firstly you will need to work out the name of artist(s), song, album or film titles. As an added bonus for finding one of these SS caches, each cache will contain an additional clue to another SS cache. If you are lucky it may be one you will have yet to find, or not, as the case may be as the caches can be attempted in any order.

With less than protocol they put this on their head after tripping the light fandango in the pale.
With the group and two singles to identify, it is not paramount, but you must find Gary’s DOB and two 7” single record label nos.

DOB DD/MM/YYYY
Record label  DM AAA
Record label RZ  XXXX

Calculate DDMM+YYYY+AAA+XXXX  to get  EFGH

The cache is not at the co-ordinates shown, but is in the vicinity of North 52° (FH-EG) . (H+G, H-G)  East 01° (5xG) . (1/3 of FH, 2/3 of H)

Although you are looking for a 35mm film canister, FTF will be able to drive away with a TB.
