Geocache Description:

For the weary traveller, Bus Stop Bewilderment caches are designed to be a quick, easy and clean find for the eager cacher.

A parody on Motorway Mayhem, SideTracked and other transport series, a BSB cache should not be placed at every bus stop in the country; there are several criteria :

- The cache should be at a sheltered bus stop.
- There must be a seated, covered area to sign the log.
- The cache needs to be a clean hide - no grubbing around in grotty corners!

Feel free to add to the series and help it grow!

The 44 service travels to/from Basingstoke, Chineham, Sherfield Park, Sherfield, Bramley.

Evidence of Bramley's first inhabitants can be found in Bullsdown Camp, a prehistoric settlement, where remnants of flint-scrapers, a spear-head, a core and flint-flakes have been found. This is thought to be a late Celtic "triple-walled dun". This fortification can still be seen today.

The Romans occupied Calleva Atrebatum, today known as Silchester, and their occupation spread as far as Bramley given by evidence in a Romano-British villa.

The Church of St James stands at the west of the village and originally dates from 1160, however features many historical alterations and additions up to the 20th Century. It is a Grade I listed building. The famous physicists Lise Meitner is buried in the burial ground next to the church.
