Tunbridge Wells Walk 2 is a series of 6 ‘micro’ caches and one small cache spread over a circular walk of just under 3.5 miles (or 1.5 hours approx.) from a central position in Tunbridge Wells on the Kent and Sussex border. The caches are made up of 6 traditional caches with clue letters and numbers that will lead you to the 7th 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 the most interesting walk but following the GPS signal to the next cache will often work as well.
Dogs are allowed throughout but they should be kept on a lead where appropriate.
There are a couple of busy roads to cross as well as a short stretch of quiet road that requires you to walk under 200 yards 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
Tunbridge Wells Walk 2 - #6 The Quarry Wood
Coming out of the rocks you enter the quaintly named Harmony Street. Go to the end of this road and go up the sloping path which goes up the bank on the opposite side of the road to the right. When nearly at the top, turn round and get the best view of Toad Rock. This whole area used to be a wonderful playground for children (I should know) but now parents must take great care to ensure children are properly supervised in the area at all times and that risk of injury is high. Walk ahead at the top and follow the path down the slope towards the cache
