Please Note
The cache has been placed on MOD managed access land close to the NGTE establishment. This land is regularly used for military training. If it is in use, there will be signs and possibly white tapes across the entrances to the cache area. Don't ignore these warnings - simply try another day.
Parking is now restricted along the length of this road as the new owners - CBRE - seem intent on exerting their rights over access. You will need to park elsewhere, Fleet Pong is not that far and would allow a very pleasant walk through the woods to reach the cache site.
Please comply with all of the bylaws, respect any directions or restrictions in force and don't pick up anything remotely dodgy looking! The area is also popular with dog walkers and muggles generally so some stealth may be required.
At the final cache site, you are looking for a small screw top container in a camo bag box under "caching sticks". Please ensure the cache is properly hidden from all directions when you leave it!
The Locality
Near Farnborough is a historic location that was key in the development of jet aviation, the National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE) at Pyestock. It was near this location, Sir Frank Whittle developed and perfected the jet engine. For many years, this was a key location for the testing of marine gas turbines and aircraft engines. Unfortunately, the NGTE site is now disused and falling into disrepair. The land is apparently earmarked to be a new supermarket distribution warehouse.
There is remarkably little "official" information about NGTE on the Internet, but some adventurous people have ventured onto the site and posted some great photographs here.
The cache location is also ideally placed to visit a number of other caches - our multi-stage cache Pyestock Cypher, this cache's big brother Pyestock (not so) Big One, so plenty of caching for those looking to extend their hunt.
