Selmeston Circular is a series of 24 ‘micro’ caches spread over
a circular walk of about 9 to 10 miles east of Lewes in East
Sussex. The caches are made up of 23 traditional caches and a
bonus. Bonus coords can be found in #8 (northing) and #14
(easting). The walk is intended to be circular and the caches done
in numerical order. However, they can be done individually and in
any order if you wish. All the hides are pretty easy, especially
with the clues.
Most of the footpaths are clearly marked but one or two are not. It
is suggested that you take a decent map with you and/or your PDA
with mapping software. The cache page descriptions will provide you
with some direction where necessary. However, if you are in any
doubt then I suggest you walk around the edges of relevant
fields.
Dogs are allowed throughout but there is livestock around so they
should be kept on a lead where appropriate. Unfortunately not all
stiles are dog friendly.
There are two railway lines to cross as well as some roads. There
are a couple of stretches that require you to walk a short way
along the roads so please ensure that you take care and keep a
close eye on children and dogs.
It can be wet and muddy under foot so a good pair of walking boots
or wellies will be required.
There is no pen or pencil in any of the caches so please bring
your own
Selmeston Circular - #
4
The map suggests that the footpath cuts diagonally across the field
from #3. However, I saw no evidence of the path but still walked
where the map suggested. The map also suggests that the path cuts
to the west just before #4 but, again, I saw no evidence of that. I
continued a little further to the north and found a gate which
seemed to get me back on track.
