Geocache Description:


All my caches have been OWL themed as set in around the area of Owlsmoor, which is a small suburb of Sandhurst in Berkshire. Owlsmoor itself is a fairly self contained community with a small parade of containing five shops and one dentist, but if that’s not enough within a small drive there are two more parades of shops in College Town and Central Sandhurst. Central Sandhurst and Owlsmoor also share a Doctors practise with one surgery just next to each parade. There are Post Offices in each parade and a library in Central Sandhurst. Not bad for a small area with no huge shopping mall! Nestled in the corner of the counties Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire and within easy distance of four more including our capital London Sandhurst is nowadays split into four very habitable areas. These areas are Owlsmoor (cache area), College town, Little Sandhurst and Central Sandhurst but years ago the whole area was forests, fields and farms, with manors dotted around and highwaymen dotting around. I managed to find eight areas that still have their farm names; these were Sandhurst Farm, Snaprails, Caves Farm, Ambarrow Farm, College Farm, Rectory Farm, Beech Farm and Rackstraw Farm. Some of the older existing buildings in the area are the churches. We have four main churches in the area, St Michaels, The Baptist Church, Wesleyan Methodist and Owlsmoors very new St Georges. The churches play an important part of the area they are in and work well together with the local school, of which we have six, St Michaels C of E, Old Scotland Hill, The Methodist, College Town, Uplands and Owlsmoor are all primary schools and Sandhurst School in Owlsmoor is our secondary school. For the more athletic residents we have many parks, sporting areas and sporting clubs, the biggest being Sandhurst Town Football club which is based at Sandhurst Memorial Park. The Memorial park is a huge area with about over eight football pitches of varying sizes for children of most ages and even adults as we also have at least one Vets team who recently played against the Arsenal Celebrity team. A good day was had by all that nicely finished in the local club house enjoying a cold beer. This brings me nicely to the last and some may say most important subject which is our pubs. We have nine pubs in the local area including an old one which was once owned by Simmonds Brewery of Reading who famously many years ago supplied ale to the Royal Military, which Sandhurst is probably most famous for. Assuming you need an N coordinate and a W000 coordinate you should now find yourself overlooking another of Berkshires famous buildings. The cache is within 10ft of you now.
