Geocache Description:

Wantage Hall - you will not need to enter the hall or in fact the grounds of the hall :) The cache is OUTSIDE the grounds and is easily accessible from the public footpath.

Wantage Hall, built 1908, is the oldest hall of residence at the University of Reading. The hall is in the town of Reading in the UK. The displayed motto "Astra castra, Numen lumen" (the stars are my camp, the deity my light) is that of the Knights of the Maccabees. The hall is situated just off the University's Whiteknights Campus, twenty minutes walk from the town centre, ten minutes from the University library and five minutes from the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Christchurch Green, with shops and buses to the town, is nearby. Wantage Hall is one of 13 Halls belonging to the University of Reading. Wantage Hall enjoys its own independent Library. Wantage Hall Librarian 2006-7, James Dennison, completed a major redevelopment of the Library and it is now regularly open after years of being dormant. The Hall is renowned within the university for its formal dinners, which often sell out. It currently[when?] offers students 15 catered meals a week (Monday to Friday), accommodating 245 students.

Note :- this is a high muggle area, stealth is required :) Good luck.
