Geocache Description:

A quick and simple small cache hidden near the nature reserve in the Historic Quarter of the old Royal Aircraft Factory within a 10 minute walk of the Farnborough Town Centre. Parking is available nearby. GPS co-ordinates are for the cache itself.

Easily accessible by all, including children and strollers and dog walkers.

An easy small cache in the Farnborough Historic Quarter, within walking distance of the town centre.

THE AREA:
This cache is hidden within the Historic Quarter of the old Royal Aircraft Factory (before it become known as the Royal Aircraft Establishment). From the cache area you can see the wind tunnels (which tested Concorde) as well as the site of the original balloon sheds and the homes built by German World War 1 Prisoners of War. You might also see a family of deer, and you'll likely see plenty of squirrels and birds.

CACHE DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION:
The cache itself is approximately five inches long and two inches tall. It is a small airtight plastic container and I have wrapped it in red insulating tape for added protection and to make it a little easier to see. However, the cache is well hidden but shouldn't pose a problem for any seasoned or determined Geocacher!
