Some of the rural roads may be rough, narrow, have roaming livestock or be flooded during heavy rain events, so please drive to suit the conditions and the limitations of your vehicle and driver.
I had quite a bit of help creating these puzzles from a variety of 'puzzle makers' out there. You will find a note of thanks and a link to one of their puzzles at the bottom of the page.

Starship Enterprise
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is a starship in the fictional Star Trek universe, depicted in four network television series, six feature films, and countless books and fan-created media. The original Star Trek series (1966–1969) features a voice-over by Enterprise captain, James T. Kirk (William Shatner), which describes the mission of Enterprise as "to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before". The ship's design "formed the basis for one of sci-fi's most iconic images," though the ship has gone over many changes over the course of its television and cinematic appearances.
The Puzzle.
You will need to solve the below puzzle to work out the location of the cache itself.
"Where No Man Has Gone Before"
Capt. Kirk: Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
The phrase “Where No Man Has Gone Before” was first introduced into Star Trek by Samuel Peeples.[2]
Incredibly, after the first pilot of who is attributed with suggesting it be used as an episode name.[7] The episode became "Where No Man Has Gone Before", the second pilot of Star Trek. But even then, this title was not shown as the second pilot, but was in fact shown as the third episode.[3]
There were actually two pilots.[2] Gene Roddenberry’s second pilot was actually supported by Desilu productions as Lucille Ball had a great respect for Gene Roddenberry and his work.
Nichelle Nichols (“Lt. Uhura”)[9] resigned from Star Trek after the first season, but reconsidered after a conversation with a big Star Trek fan. The fan was Martin Luther King, Jr.[3]
The Klingon language was first developed by James Doohan (Star Trek’s Scotty).[9] He devised the language’s basic sound, first few words and phrases.
Space Shuttle Constitution had its name changed to Enterprise following a letter-writing campaign by Star Trek fans.[1]
The first entirely computer generated movie sequence in cinema history was the Genesis Device demonstration video in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The studio that made the scene would later become Pixar.[5]
James Doohan, who plays Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott ( Scotty) on Star Trek, is missing the entire middle finger on his right hand (he lost it on D-Day).[1]
In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’ all of Khan’s men were Chippendale dancers at the time.[4]
When the original “Star Trek” became a hit on TV, Leonard Nimoy’s dad, who worked as a barber, offered customers a “Spock cut” at his barbershop.[5]
After Star Trek was cancelled, Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhara) volunteered for a special recruiting project at NASA where she recruited America’s first and second female as well as black male as astronauts.[4]
William Shatner (Captain Kirk) was unable to do the Star Trek Vulcan Salute.[8.] Originally a hand gesture of various Jewish denominations, Shatner required fishing line to tie his fingers into the now-famous salute.[6]
Many thanks to Slow Puncture for helping me by creating this puzzle.
Cache location update (16th May 2019): The farmer has upgraded his fence so the Final location of the cache has moved a little bit. AFTER you have solved the puzzle, and AFTER you have confirmed your answer with the checker, then you need to adjust your co-ordinates by S+0.005 & E-0.007.
