The mining ship Red Dwarf is the main location for the TV series. Red Dwarf is an enormous spaceship owned by the Jupiter Mining Corporation and commanded by Captain Frank Hollister. It is 6 miles long, 4 miles tall, and 3 miles wide. The jagged shape and dull red colour of the vessel has led to the vessel being described as a gigantic red rubbish bin. All of Red Dwarf’s systems are controlled by the computer 'Holly'.

Finding This Series

This cache is a regular sized container with space for some swappables and a pencil. It has a 3.5/4 D/T rating due to the combined ratings of the other caches which need to be found first. Please replace exactly as you found it.

Walking the whole series is best done in numerical order. Some caches are harder to find than others. The route is almost circular but from cache #7 it will be necessary to back-track past #6 to reach #8, after which the route is straightforward again. Some parts of the series are on good road surfaces, but the majority of the walk is over fields used by livestock and so the paths can get muddy and very waterlogged. Wear appropriate footwear and follow the Countryside Code, keeping dogs on a lead at all times.

The complete circuit is 4km long and should take about 1¾ hours. We welcome logs highlighting any issues or any suggestions you have to improve the cache or the series. Good luck everyone!
