Another memory lane cache for me. When I was a very small kid we used to go for walks as a family to see the fire tower that still stood here. It was made of metal and was tall enough to be seen from Dibden Purlieu. I've not found out any details about it so if anyone has knowledge please email me. It was pulled down a long time back, before I had the chance to clamber up it, and all that remains are the concrete bases to the legs. The coordinates take you to the central base where you should still get reasonable reception. The cache is 14 metres West of this point behind a tree. My compass was pointing directly west at the tree in question. You're looking for a 2.5 lt lock lock container.
