Geocache Description:


Starship Enterprise Geo-Art

Welcome to the ‘Starship Enterprise’ Geo-Art. Each puzzle is different ,themed around SPACE and is ‘hopefully’ designed to help you learn a little about different types of puzzles. Some will obviously be a little harder than others but should be doable with a little patience.

Please remember to return and cover the container as you found it to ensure its’ longevity, and when visiting stay safe and abide by the geocacher’s creed. http://www.geocreed.info/

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.

The cache is NOT at the published co-ordinates.

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.

HOW OBSERVANT ARE YOU?

Space can be observed from many sites in the world and your task is to locate some of them in this CODED information below.

“I move south from the world’s original observatory at Greenwich to Brera in Milan then onwards to Monte Mario, Rome. Pointedly I complete this part of the trip by visiting Piwnice in Torun-Piwnice and finally the Isaac Roberts Observatory in Crowborough.

My easterly trip takes me via Sonnenborgh in Utrecht, and Sterrewacht in Leiden followed by the Uecht Observatory in Berne. The final points were located at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope completing the trip in the Paris Observatory.


Many thanks to Membsec for helping me by creating this puzzle.
