Easy terrain close to car park. The cache is in a large micro with
screw top covered in black tape.
The cache was first named Vista but is now part of the Sussex Amble
series.
The Sussex Amble is an excellent walk for those who enjoy the
slightly longer than normal walk. There are 72 caches in total one
of which is a bonus cache. The walk covers a variety of terrain,
open countryside, deep woods, hills and dales and some of the views
are amongst the best in Sussex.
The walk is mainly on public bridle ways with a couple footpaths.
There are 4 minor and 1 major road to cross. Care should be taken
crossing the A285 as this can be quite busy at times. There are 2
stiles to cross which are quite low but the first one is not in the
best of condition.
Some of the paths are on chalk so can be slippery in wet weather.
In common with many routes some areas will be wet and muddy
especially after a period of heavy rain so wear good walking boots.
Nettles are generally not a problem but watch out when delving in
to find the cache as there are one or two areas where the are
silently waiting. We use Afterbite to neutralize stings immediately
if attacked. There is one pub on route (Heyshott) and there are a
few benches to rest on if required. The walk is quite long so make
sure that you have spare GPSr batteries and food for the journey. A
torch may also be handy in the winter months.
Most of the caches are large screwtop micros (sorry) with a few
kliplock boxes scattered around.
Suggested parking is close to cache 1 near to the Glatting beacons.
Other access points are available if you are not planning on doing
the walk in one hit. We have done the walk two times and on both
occasions completed it in one day but arrived at the finishing post
after sunset. (October). Some I'm sure will finish it a lot
quicker.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE MICROS ARE SCREWED UP TIGHT TO AVOID
WATER INGRESS. THANKS
If in doubt about any thing please contact us.
Mike and Christine.
