Geocache Description:


G:UK cache rating
SITUATION

This is a multi-cache in memory of the nearby site of what was Templer Barracks, which for many years was the home of the Intelligence Corps.

MISSION

Your mission - should you choose to accept it, is to locate a series of Dead Letter Boxes (DLBs) (Intelligence parlance for micro (35mm film canister)/small caches) that will lead you to the final regular size cache.

EXECUTION

Park in the lay-by alongside The Hare & Hounds pub at: N51 10.054 E00 50.815 and cross the road to the public footpath which leads to Godington & Great Chart. Each DLB will provide you with the location of the next DLB and they will gradually disclose something of the history of the former barracks site and the Intelligence Corps. Having successfully located all the DLBs you will arrive at the Final Rendezvous (FRV). Here you will receive a detailed briefing on the layout of the former Templer Barracks.

GROUND AND COMMUNICATIONS

Although much of your route will take you through woodland you will be able to obtain a good GPS signal at each key stage. There is no need to deviate from established footpaths when in transit between DLBs.

TIMINGS

Start when ready, and go to: N51 09.911 E00 50 857 near where a solitary sentry stands guard.

OPERATIONAL SECURITY

A word of warning - and I will say this only once! The location of the FRV is secret and it must not be disclosed to unauthorised personnel - i.e. Muggles.
