GCYDPP Star Trek 1: Start Wrecks (Traditional Cache) in North East England, United Kingdom created by adopted by annemarie

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired it I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

This is a series of 9 caches located in a former Northeast black hole for caches and indeed cachers. The caches themselves are themed (well the names are anyway) and based on the Star Trek science fiction series that has been going on, well, forever. This cache is wheelchair accessible.

There are nine caches of varying sizes altogether, the first 8 all having number clues in/on the containers to give the coordinates for the final cache. It’s not necessary to do the caches in order but, if you do, the logic behind the clues may become obvious. In the event that you can’t find one or two it’s possible to work out what’s required by doing a bit of research. You can still complete the series if you can’t get all the caches although you really should make an effort! This redundancy also has the benefit of allowing you to complete the series if any caches get muggled.

The first in the series is located in the area of Hartlepool’s Historic quay. Take some time to have a wander around the HMS Trincomalee and the Wingfield Castle before making your way towards the sadly defunct shopping mall, Jackson’s Landing. You can park outside the dead shops and hunt for the cache in relative peace.

Please note that there’s no need to open anything except the cache container itself, which just so happens to be a micro.

Don’t fall in the sea.
