The Series
D.J.F. – The Dwayne Johnson Filmography series. A number of traditional geocaches scattered around the lanes of Herefordshire, each with three things in common: named for one of Dwayne Johnson’s films, easy access, whatever the weather, plus a common camouflaging technique.
These geocaches have been placed along some of my regular running routes. More will be added as more films are made. They are numbered in order of film release dates and can be attempted in any order. On the initial publication of the series, there are 41 geocaches. As more films are made, more geocaches will be added.
I run these single track lanes and other runners, intrepid walkers and cyclists with stamina will enjoy the challenge. There are several places around the area where cars can be parked safely.
Those geocachers aiming to attempt the series by car need to remember that Herefordshire is the land of tractors, tourists and narrow lanes (with grassy central reservations). It would be advisable to have an experienced driving buddy who can remain with the vehicle at all times.

Who Is Dwayne Johnson?
Dwayne Douglas Johnson, 6ft 5in, was born into a professional wrestling family on May 2nd 1972.

Off screen, Johnson has three daughters, one from his marriage and two with his current partner.
