Intro...
'The Atomic
Weapons Establishment (AWE) has been central to the defence of the
United Kingdom for more than 50 years, providing and maintaining
the warheads for the country's nuclear deterrent. Uniquely among
the nuclear powers, AWE covers the whole life cycle of nuclear
warheads, in a single establishment. This includes initial concept
and design, through component manufacture and assembly, to
in-service support and, finally, decommissioning and
disposal.'
'AWE Burghfield occupies a 225 acre site, seven miles east of
Aldermaston. It was established during World War II to manufacture
munitions. Later it was used as a storage depot for the Ministry of
Supply until the early 1950's, when its facilities and proximity to
Aldermaston made it an obvious choice to support the expanding
nuclear weapons programme. Today, Burghfield is responsible for the
final assembly of warheads, their in-service maintenance and their
eventual decommissioning.'

Now for the
cache...
This cache is located
near to the AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) at Burghfield. It is
a mystery cache which requires you to find the other four caches in
our 'quintet' dotted around the Burghfield area. In each of the
caches there is card with part of a set of co-ordinates on it. Once
you have all four, you have the completed co-ordinates to go
find!
Terrain...
The paths seem pretty
good, but there is some mud, so don't try it in your new white
trainers! Cachers with buggies may struggle towards the end, but I
don't think it's impossible!
Parking...
There's a few options for
parking. The co-ords for this log will take you to some 'verge'
parking reasonably close to the cache.
If you don't wish to go
near the AWE, parking is available in the car park of the Old Bell
in Goring lane. Please be careful when crossing the road from here
as cars can be very fast.
