Fleet Pond is Hampshire's largest freshwater lake covering some 53 acres with another 85 acres of woodland and habitat designated as an SSSI. It is managed by Hart Council but a group of volunteers (Fleet Pond Society) have helped create the environment you see today. Hart Countryside Services have been very helpful in determining the best place for the cache.
This is a multi-cache around the pond which takes in most of the views and interesting spots along the way. The distance is around 2 miles and is suitable for walking or cycling but unfortunately not suitable for wheelchair access due to mud in some sections. It is also great for kids and a Sunday afternoon stroll with lots of information boards along the way. Take loads of bread for the ducks.
First choose your parking from the Waypoints below, either at the end of the Fleet Railway Station Car Park, or at the Fleet Pond Nature Reserve. If you arrive by train or bus the drop point is the Railway Station. This is no longer a letterbox cache as the stamp kept going missing.
Normally on a multi-cache you follow your GPS from place to place picking up clues along the way, the coordinates either being published within the cache or being calculated en route. We are doing the first bit here but not the second. You are going to pick up clues along the way which help build the final waypoint location but to find those places you need to use a feature on your GPS you may not have used before - Projecting Waypoints.
Projecting Waypoints
That's right. Dust off the manual for your GPSr and you will see all the main stream devices support this feature. Check your manual but in principal these are the rules to follow -
- Stand where you want to project the waypoint from (it doesn't matter which direction you or the GPS are pointing)
- Mark the position
- Select the waypoint you have created and depending on your GPS unit select Project Waypoint
- Now enter a distance and a bearing (or vice versa)
- Press OK and you will have a new waypoint.
- Use this new waypoint to get to your next position
- Note that for devices that only support 1/10km the rounded figures are in brackets (AKA Yellow Etrex)
Don't worry too much as the places we are sending you are very obvious. Just to help out even more you must follow the Yellow Route and the pond must always be on your left (if you see the pond on your right things are going very wrong 
). So lets get ready and start projecting...
Waypoint 1 - N51 17.438 W000 49.596
You should be standing at the top of large T shaped Jetty looking directly over the pond. If not apply 3 in 1 oil to GPS and try again.
From here project the following waypoint -
0.36 Kilometres (0.4 km - you will be 40m past where you need to be)
190º Bearing
Your GPS should now be telling you to go across the pond slightly to the right. Follow the path and the GPS....
Waypoint 2 - You should be standing on something big and made of concrete.
From the end of this place project the following waypoint -
0.55 Kilometres (0.5km - this is in the pond by 50m but stay on land!)
85º Bearing
Just behind you is a notice board. Please fill in the following -
RED ROUTE = AB-CD minutes
YELLOW ROUTE = Ehr - Ehe FGm
BLUE ROUTE = HI-JK minutes
Now continue following the path. Note this is a [sort of] circular walk so you will actually move away from the waypoint for a while. At the end of Fugelmere remember to stay on the Yellow route.
Waypoint 3 - At the beach, not quite Jamaica but enjoy the view
Sit on one of the seats and admire the view with Tom Chatziapostolou. LM-9-11
Congratulate yourself that you are now a "Project Waypoint" expert and people will come from miles around to hear of your adventures. Meantime start to ponder the last leg and the cache which is located at
N 51. A(B+C).J(G+F+E)(H+K) WIII J(J+K).A(H+I+K)F
Leave this place by the other path towards the cache which is a small plastic container. Good luck and happy projecting.
I hope you enjoyed the walk and by now you should be back at your car after signing the log etc.
