Geocache Description:


The listed co-ordinates will not take you to the cache. Please calculate the final co-ords from where you are parked.

This is a cache of nostalgia.  I grew up in the nearby Crowthorne and my first job at the age of 14 was at this small building.  Back in my youth, it was a popular restaurant.  A treat for the city folk to make the long drive into the country for a delicious hearty meal, served by the enthusiastic short waitress.  I served a few celebrities in my time including Johnny Clegg, PJ Powers and Gary Bailey.

The building now houses a shop for equestrian tack and other products.  There is also my favourite coffee cafe on the other side.  

As I was driving out, I noticed something rather bizarre which I don't remember seeing when I worked here 35 years ago - a post box!  I have no idea why it was put here in the first place, but I reckon it makes for a brilliant cache hide!

While I was hiding the cache, there were so many different birds!!  I spotted: Cape Glossy Starling, Blacksmith Lapwing, Olive Thrush, Masked Weaver, Crested Barbet, House Sparrow and Spotted Thick knee (all in the few minutes that I was there).

You can park across from the post box and please look out for muggles!  Be discreet and careful so that the cache survives.

To get the final co-ordinates, take note of one of the "warning/notice" signs on the left, if you are driving in. Basically, it is about the rule of no riding allowed without a hard hat. Let "First Word"=TWO; "Fourth Word"="FOUR"; "Twentieth Word"=NINE and "Twenty First Word"=THREE.
