Geocache Description:

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. We apologise for the poor location of this cache. The ideal location, which you will pass between this cache and the pub, is apparently too close to a stage of a multi-cache for the reviewer to allow.

From cache #6
Cross the road and take the footpath opposite and head across the field to the top left corner to reach the road. (Turn left to visit the Ringlestone Inn. They keep a supply of boot covers in the lobby for muddy walkers). From the road take the track opposite, by the side of the post box, through the gate, and follow the track to the corner, where you cross the stile. Take the just visible path diagonally right across the field to the wood (waypoint 007). Go through the wood to cache 7.
