Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Hidden in an area of deep tree-cover high on the North Downs, this cache is named for the hideous din that rises from the M25 London orbital motorway 350 feet below.
The North Downs path runs through the woods that cover the top of the Downs here. The noise from the motorway is much less intrusive in the nearby Marden Park Wood, which has a number of paths and bridleways running through it. Nearer the cache there are a number of places offering views out over the Surrey countryside.

In 2003 much of the new-growth bush on this face of the North Downs was cleared to give the rare open-downland species more space to flourish. The open-downland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Access is not restricted, but please take care if you choose to go walking there. (You don't need to do so in order to find the cache.)

There's a car park at N51 16.175, W000 01.960, and a point with a fine view at N51 16.145, W000 01.874 (if you can cope with all the steps).

The cache is a small (not quite big enough for a CD) white plastic box containing a selection of small items including a log book and pencil.

Really pleased to be caching as the full Committee again, welcome back BW

Lots of tree cutting has taken place making it awkward to get to GZ, cache is still nice and safe though.

Lots of sawing down as well as roaring down here. Cache quickly located, and that's it, we are on our way home. TFTC.

Back caching with my old 'Committee' mates of BHA Loyal, The Adamss and Redirected Male. A lot of trees have been cut down around here but the cache is safe and well. Thanks

Last one for the year! What a wet, muddy one it was. Slid our way towards it but found nice and dry despite all the recent weather. TFTC. TNLN.
