A meandering walk around a very pretty village, which had a mention in the Domesday Book. There are two pubs and a village shop, all of which would be pleased to see you.
The terrain is flat and easy except for the last part, which is quite steep and suitable for foot only, but well worth it!
You can be back at your car within an hour and a half comfortably but why rush it?
Car park N 50. 59. 722 W 001. 02. 188
1) Park your car at the coordinates above.
Don’t take too long on this cache though, or your car will be towed away! You only have AB hours!
2) Walk down through the village to N 50. 5 (B+1). (A+2)(A+2)(A-2) W 001. 01. B15
What year were the trees planted? = C D E F

5) Walk along the narrow path heading for
N 50. 5(N+1). (M-1) M (L+L) W 001. 01. N0 (L+4)
go past Tora’s seat, turn left and you should see over a low brick wall, two clasped hands under a crown.

6) Then to N 50. 5Q. (P+S)(R+S)R W 001.01. Q(R-2)R

In what year did William Weeks (who may have done the Stedham Stroll) die?

7) Hopefully you don’t have RSI from all those coordinates! You certainly have enough numbers to find the cache, so now for a bit of exercise.
Walk WEST up the sloping public footpath until you reach two stiles. Take the right hand one and follow your arrow onwards and upwards until you reach
N 50. ZD. M U L W 001. 0W. (X-1)(Z+Y) R
8) Find a place to sit and rest your aching fingers and enjoy the view.
