A nice stroll and gentle incline if coming from Hogben's Hill, or if you fancy a more lengthy walk with a short climb and heading to/from the 'Sacred Sheldwich' cache. The last 2 meters are up a bank that may be slippery in the wet.
I love this part of the Kentish countryside. Not surprising as the land around here was once described as making up the 'finest estate in Kent'.
Whilst dodging the cow-pats you'll hear crows cawing, rabbits hopping and will see dozens and sometimes hundreds, of pheasants and red-legged partridges sprinting from hedgerows.
Personally I'd recommend a 3 to 4 mile walk starting with Pooh, Tig & LaLa's cache 'Sacred Sheldwich', (GCP1XV), then continuing along the footpath towards Hogben's Hill, then before reaching that little hamlet head down the grassy valley for this cache. Either return exactly the same way or via the many paths and bridleways in this area.
Alternatively find a parking space in Hogben's Hill where a lovely three quarter's of a mile stroll down the bridleway and footpath through the valley will get you to GZ.
The trees may obscure the signal at GZ!
