Tunbridge Wells Walk 1 is a series of 7 ‘micro’ caches and one
small cache spread over a circular walk of about 4 miles (or two
hours approx.) from a central position in Tunbridge Wells on the
Kent and Sussex border. The caches are made up of 7 traditional
caches with clue letters and numbers that will lead you to the 8th
cache. 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 should be pretty easy, especially
with the clues.
Most of the route is clearly marked but one or two paths are well
hidden. It is suggested that you take a decent map with you in any
case. The cache page descriptions will provide you with some
direction but following the GPS signal to the next cache will
usually be sufficient.
Dogs are allowed throughout but there is an open field for one
stretch so they should be kept on a lead where appropriate.
Unfortunately not all stiles are dog friendly.
There are a couple of busy roads to cross as well as a stretch of
quiet road that requires you to walk a reasonable way along the
road so please ensure that you take care and keep a close eye on
children and dogs. The
walk is not suitable for young children (in our opinion).
It can be very wet and muddy under foot so a good pair of walking
boots or wellies may be required.
There is no pen or pencil in any of the caches so please
bring your own
