caches and a bonus cache in Fowlmead Country Park.
Ample car parking is
available at N51 14.232 E001 22.075. These parking co-ords
are for all of the caches in the series.
Fowlmead
Country
Park is the
result of an £19 million pound South East England Development
Agency regeneration scheme converting the slagheaps of the former
Betteshanger Colliery off the A258 between Sandwich and
Deal.
The bleak landscape of
shale and coal dust has been transformed into a rolling panorama of
woodland, country walks, small lakes, horse riding facilities and a
national standard cycle track.

To obtain the co-ords for
the bonus cache, simply make note of the number on the front of the
logbook of this cache which will correspond to the bonus cache
letter B
The cache
is a small clip lock box containing a logbook (inside a 35mm film
pot), pencil and a few small swaps. Its location is very near to
the water, so usual precautions need to be taken with youngsters.
You will be in ‘view’ from across the water, so PLEASE
be stealthy when retrieving and replacing the cache.
