Cold War Cache
By: Griff Grof Date: March 24, 2012, 5:01 pm

You've probably done it anyway, but for those who haven't, this
cache is a must do! Found it a month ago though, but never too
late to recommend!

Wrighty took me to this one after a good series, on the way
home, felt a bit scary going down into the bunker, but a well
stocked cache, and interesting history.
Also, outside the bunker, were amazing views (for the people who
don't want to go down) to enjoy (though the cache is actually
inside the bunker, hidden quite well) and the whole thing was
topped off by seeing five red kites putting on what seemed like
a 'show' - amazing.
So, yes, something unique and different, never done something
quite like it before!
Check out this photo Wrighty took of me coming out of the
bunker:

Can definitely second the recommendation of this cache. It was
the first cache I found subterranean, and set me looking for
others. I have been back to this one to take others to
experience and everyone has enjoyed it.
A short distance walk along the Ridgeway from there will also
take you to another great cache - Wayland's Smithy.

I hope no one minds my necromancy of this old post? :)
I saw this and it looks pretty neat, and is only 6-7 miles from
where I live. It's my birthday next week so I have a day off
with the family... and I get to choose what I want to do ;D
I'm going to do this cache, and the one at Wayland's smithy as a
special birthday treat. I'm not telling the rest of team
Maschast where we're going though - It'll be a nice suprise!

It's a good one to do. If you want to explore inside, remember
to take a torch :)

It is a fun cache! A tip though, don't park up right close to
it, and if you see the farmer working in the surrounding fields
then go do Wayland's then come back to this one. He has been
known to get a bit funny with people popping down in there.
I like Wayland's too. There's a certain aura surrounding it. The
cache itself is quite some way from the burial chamber.

Just for info - we did Cold War Cache GC32REK in Notts recently,
for a milestone, if you fancy a very easy 5/5 and want to see
what its like down a black hole!
The bunker is dirty and smelly inside, looks like someone has
lit a fire in there, but safe, provided you take care on the
steel ladder going down.

I find these posts interesting. I have visited quite a few. If I
find my way up there sometime I will take a look at GC32REK. I
wouldn't say it's a 5/5, but ROC post caches are still fun to
do. The one near Swindon has recently been archived, which is a
shame. It had many fav points. I know of a few ROC posts close
to my home location but all are on private land and so can't put
caches in them sadly.

They are interesting, we did a cache by a locked one in North
Yorks, on the way to the Harrogate Mega, if I remember
correctly. Agreed, no way is this a 5/5, I reckon a 3/3
perhaps, but this stuff is so subjective...
Mind you, if you needed a 5/5 for the D/T grid this would be
worth a punt as a chap with one leg did it if you look back
through the logs!
