Current Goal

Fred the Duck is trying to get to a cache near San Francisco, in California, United States to reunite with his owner, rohanUK, who is working there (though any cache in Northern California would be good)

Fred's first task was to get back to Cheltenham, UK, and although he almost succeeded (getting to the right county) it wasn't before RohanUK moved 5,500 miles away :-( So Fred is off on a new mission to travel to America and catch his owner again!

About This Item

Fred Icon

Starting of from "Kiddies Hollow" on the North Down shore of Belfast Lough - Northern Ireland , Fred's task is work his way to his goal in the south of England, via whatever interesting places (or countries!) he happens to travel through. Please feel free to post any photos of Fred on his travels, as well as any tales of what he (or you!) get up to on the way!

Unfortunately at some point the tag must have fallen off Fred and he was taken without it, after going though a short spell as a Lion, Fred is now a duck again.

Have Fun!

Since all my caching activities recently took place even farther east - and for some time will continue to do so - I passed Fred to cafelestique. He promised to take care of Fred and his task!

In fact he stayed there for an hour or so - to wait for spring to come might take too long!
BTW, one of my favourite lines in the Harry Potter movies is Weasley senior having breakfast and adressing Harry: "Tell me, what - exactly - is the function of a rubber duck?" 🤡
Maybe we can give Fred a little nudge to the west, the Baltic seems to be the wrong sea on his way home!

  • Too cold for swimming! The water in the "Lübecker Bucht" near Sierksdorf was not yet warm enough for "Fred the Duck". Thus we put him into a cachebox where he can wait for spring to come.
