One of a series of 8 regular caches on a round walk in the Wormshill and Frinsted area in the beautiful and varied landscape north of the North Downs escarpment. As an added incentive you can also take in two church micros and a red telephone box micro making a round walk of about 6 miles.
Why the Three Rs? It stands for Round Ringlestone Ramble and is a series of regular caches on a six mile round walk starting in Frinsted and passing through Wormshill and Ringlestone, mostly on public footpaths with some short stretches on quiet lanes. Apart from a track called Drake Lane, the paths are not particularly well marked. Navigational skill and a map (Explorer 148) will help. Additional waypoints are included to assist with wayfinding.
The walk takes in woods, farmers fields, flower filled meadows and a couple of picturesque hidden valleys. The area has many “deneholes”, although the route does not actually pass by one. These have a fascinating history, and further details can be found at (visit link)
The whole walk took us about 4 hours including setting the caches.
The church in Frinsted has a small parking area. There is also a highly recommended pub in Ringlestone.
You are looking for a 0.3l rectangular clip top box. Enjoy the walk.
From the parking at the church turn left up the road from the church to the junction, and take the road to the right, and where this bends right take the path through the gate. Follow this path through the fields to the waypoint 001 (there were horses here when we set the cache) There are a couple of stiles to cross which are in a poor state of repair. From the waypoint take the just visible path diagonally right through the field heading towards the first cache.
From cache #1
Follow the path through the trees, then head for waypoint 002, a stile in the corner of the field. Follow the path up the field and over the next field to join a lane at a stile in the top right corner. Turn left along the road past the church at Wormshill. While you are here why not do the church micro 271 and the red phone box 5 caches. Follow the road through the village, passing the Blacksmiths Arms restaurant, and soon after take a path on the right opposite Yewtree Farm, waypoint 003. Walk diagonally across the field (no discernible path) directly towards the next cache.
