Geocache Description:

This is the first cache in a series taking families to the Moon and (hopefully) back.
This first cache is a traditional, and the rest of the series are puzzles which should be able to be completed, with help, by the younger members of caching families.
At or near each location will be something for the younger members of the family to do after making the find.
The puzzles will need to be completed in order.

Head for the moon.

Activities around this cache include the beach, playgrounds, walks and an animal farm.

Should you wish to return from the moon, you will need to collect the 5 character sequence from inside the cache.

Original container was 450ml Systema container containing a number of family friendly swaps.

8 Feb 2014 : Container has been replaced and is now round screw-top container - approx 500ml.
Location has also changed - same structure, different corner and elevation. Too many people have hung off the bottom of the original hiding place and it is no longer stable.

20 Oct 2015 : Same coordinates but back in the original position after some DIY. Updated hint 10:30pm after enabling cache earlier tonight. Teamwork recommended to avoid the same damage as has happened before.

Lunar Emergency Phase 1 (visit link) is the next step.
