Ponds, Dew Ponds and Lakes of Sussex #5 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

martletsman: Thiis Dew Pond is undergoing a long term restoration and very slow and methdical removal of some invasive species.
I have decided to archive this cache to prevent any interference with this restoration work.
Once the work is completed I will see if a replacement will be possible, but as the site is/will become SSSI may be difficult.
(PS I have contacted the restoration team to see if we (geocachers) could assist with restoration as a CITO. the nature of the work means only about 6 people at a time will be able to work and very meticulous removal and destroying of all small pieces of the invasive weed.
Thanks to the 500+ finders of this cache.

Geocache Description:

This series is thanks to Dick and Jan (Saltdean Seekers) as it was thier Walkabout series (click here for details) that spawned the idea.

How many times when out walking or cacheing have we come across a pond or Dew pond that seems to be asking to become a Cache?.

So armed with pre-prepared micro, it is easy, see site, hide micro, record co-ordinates, get home and enter listing details.

This series will consist of a mixture of:-
caches in their own right
caches situated on the way to other caches
cache and dash types.
In many cases you can decide which type you want it to be, and may want to look at your maps to decide before setting off.

Cache is a 35 mm film canister containing logbook and pencil.

#5 South Hill Barn Dew Pond.

(a) There is adequate parking very close to the cache
(b) A good starting points for several pleasant walks, including other nearby caches.
(c) Only a short distance to see the view that is probally the most painted in sussex. (Seven Sisters)
(d) Nice walk down to the Cuckmere Haven along the River Cuckmere to a pub for lunch, and seeing numerous and various species of bird on the way.
Enjoy.
