Binsted Bash
A series of 20 caches on a circular walk each containing a clue to
enable you to find 2 Bonuses caches which themselves contain a
further clue to find a Bonus Bonus cache.
Binsted is a small village situated south of the A27. The
extensive woods include a variety of wildlife and wild flowers. It
is a very underused wood so is begging for a walk through it.
There are 4 stiles to cross so should be reasonably dog
friendly. At the time of placing these caches the paths were muddy
but not impassable. Occasionally there are detours around the more
muddy areas. There are however one or two areas where the farmer
has ploughed the footpaths and has grown some crops. Although
people have recreated these footpaths, this caused us some problems
as the crops were waist high and after the recent heavy rain caused
us to get very wet. A spare pair of socks and trousers could be
useful after wet weather. Walking boots or wellies are definitely
recommended.
Tree cover may cause some GPSr problems so we have tried to make
the clues as helpful as possible giving exact details of cache
locations. The series is not intended to be difficult.
The caches are a variety of micros, large micros and small. The
bonus caches are regular.
The majority of caches though are large micros covered in black
gaffer tape which need to be screwed up tightly after your
visit.
The complete walk should take about 4 hours. You could also take
in Ron and Alma's Diamond Anniversary, Roman Villa – Walberton,Old
Oak Tree and Ponds Dewponds and Lakes of
Sussex #36 which are only a short way from our path.
Parking at the suggested coordinates are recommended.
