Geocache Description:


Poppies on Parade is a series of caches devised by Mr. Nibbler, who has kindly given permission to use the idea.

Arborfield is a village in Berkshire about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south-east of Reading, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Wokingham, and about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) west of the sister village of Arborfield Cross.

The village is on the A327 road linking Reading with Farnborough.

Arborfield is in the civil parish of Arborfield and Newland, which is in the district of Wokingham unitary authority.

Arborfield may be best known for the adjoining army base of Arborfield Garrison, the headquarters and training base of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers corps of the British Army, although the Garrison actually lies about a mile the other side of Arborfield Cross and is mostly in the civil parish of Barkham. In the Garrison there is the Army Cadet Force detachment 11 platoon Arborfield.

The Cache

Please replace carefully in exactly the same position so the container is out of sight as you are in full view of passers by and traffic on the road. The cache is very small and contains only a tiny log so you need to take your own pen or pencil. Please note that the cache is NOT on, or immediately adjacent to the memorial or under the wreaths etc so don't waste your time poking around it please.

This can be a very busy place with muggles and passing cars. You are definitely overlooked from nearby buildings - so extreme stealth is required.
