Brampton Bunker Traditional Cache
the-muggler: its gone....
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is loosely part of a series of caches running from the centre of Brampton to Talkin Tarn a couple of miles away, starting with 'Brampton Magnet Trail', this cache, then 'Fall In A Hole', 'Budgie' and 'Sabak Bernam'. Not linked by name, but a series easily completed by walking, cycling, or as drive bys. Each one set in a different style to test you in a different way, and leave you ending up at Talkin Tarn.....
....where there are a bunch more caches to find including 'Talcan Tjorn' and a pleasant place to walk round the water.
This cache is by the crossroads next to the Brampton War Memorial Hospital, which was opened on 6th September 1923 as a cottage hospital and is now run by the NHS. Be careful to avoid accidents, especially with children, as it can be a busy junction, and there is no A&E at this hospital!
More interestingly is the location right next to GZ of an old bunker, totally invisible to most people passing by, as its over the wall in a private garden, but can be seen clearly when grabbing this cache as you look down on its roof. The garden wall has been built to the same height, but from the road side you can see the gun holes close to the ground in the wall. In all the times of going past it, I never even knew it was there! Very well disguised, a bit like this cache which is a 'disco' cache, which means a disguised container....
Please put back carefully, sealing the ziplock bag so the logsheet stays dry. Theres no room for swaps, or pen, so BYO writing implement....
Thanks to Wild-Skye for the additional information about the bunker built as part of the defence of Brampton, which can be found at:
