GCYDQ1 Star Trek 8: Captain’s Log (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This cache has been archived.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 responded to recent logs or logged into geocaching.com for some time 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

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.

How inevitable was this as a name? The eighth and penultimate cache is located near a public footpath leading off to who knows where between Dalton Piercy and Greatham. This is a smallish cache that I was going to use underwater but it wasn’t quite watertight enough for that purpose. It’ll do fine for this. Please be careful when you park; I haven’t suggested a parking spot as there really isn’t one nearby. There’s the entrance to the farmer’s house but you wouldn’t want to use that. He wouldn’t want you to either. Don’t park near the cache as it’s on a bend.
Inside we have:
An eye mask
A Golden Eagle – not actual size
A Gnome, bizarrely.
Dominoes Game
Tiddly Winks Game
