Geocache Description:


This is one of a series of 50 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.

Wow, having given up flying, the founders of this group played to skip the drums, with almost feline input, without Dick, and in a jam. Confrontation, unreliability and drug abuse prevented this American group from achieving its potential so the group only had minor success in the UK.

Here you need to find the names of two groups linked by the two personnel to be sure you have the correct names, then you need to find the DOB (DD/MM/YYYY) of one the two founders, the decade (XXXX’s) the second founder started his music career, and the release date (DD/MM/YYYY) of the album mentioned in the text.

Calculate DDMMYYYY+XXXX+DDMMYYYY to get EFGHPQRS

The cache is not at the given co-ordinates, but is in the vicinity of

North (FG+SE)  (FQ+S).(QSG+FFG)

East (GG+GF)  (SS-H).(RPP+poached or scrambled)

You are looking for a 35mm canister that cannot be accessed from the ground. Pointed communication device required.
