This cache has a very high maintenance due to inconsiderate people leaving the cache in a mess and not bothering to put it back as found!
If this continues to happen in the future, this cache WILL be taken offline which will be unfair due to a minority selfish cachers!
NOTE THAT THIS CACHE IS LOCATED CLOSE TO A PROPERTY, HOWEVER THE CACHE CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE PAVEMENT WITHOUT THE NEED TO ENTER ANY PROPERTY OR DRIVEWAYS. This cache has been muggled several times in the past, so please take care when retrieving it. Please try not to arouse suspicion from muggles and local residents but you can always wave at us if you see us watching you :) The cache site is located near the Greatstone dunes that were established in the 1970s to protect the Kent coastline from flooding. The Rother estuary was said to flow out here and was always difficult to navigate, with many shallow channels and sandbanks. To make navigation easier, two large rocks, one bigger than the other, were placed at the entrance to the main channel. The names of two local settlements, Littlestone and Greatstone are a reminder of these aids. Standing on the top of the dunes facing towards the sea, to the left in the distance you can see Henry Tubbs Water Tower. Just out to sea lies the Mulberry Harbour, During World War II a fleet of floating concrete harbour pieces (called Mulberry Harbours) were sailed across the English Channel to France to aid Allied landings there. One of these harbour pieces remains, embedded in a sandbank just off the coast by Littlestone-on-Sea and is clearly visible at low tide. Straight ahead 9 miles out to sea is the Varne, a long sand bank only a metre or so under water has claimed quite a few ocean going vessels in the past and still living up to its name. To the right is Dungeness, which lies at the southernmost point of Kent and is an enormous flat of sand and shingle which has been a hazard to shipping for hundreds of years. Dungeness Lighthouse marks the end of the peninsula and is also an important way mark and reference for vessels navigating the Dover Straits. Please beware there are plenty of muggles around in the summer and houses opposite. Please be aware of these and don't look too conspicuous. Thank you and Happy Caching!
