Geocache Description:

This cache is a 35mm film pot located at ground level. Sorry, the last few feet are probably not accessible to wheelchair cachers.

The published co-ordinates are for the very approximate location of the Rodmell Patrol's WW2 underground hideout.

Unfortunately, the entrance to the hideout is off of the public footpath, and surrounded by a high barbed-wire fence, so it is not possible to see it.

You can however gain lots of very interesting information regarding this and other underground hideouts by searching:
Rodmell Patrol (Auxiliary Units) and Secret Sussex Resistance

I have placed the cache near to the memorial seat dedicated to Frank Dean, the patrol leader, and his wife. Frank would have passed this location everytime he visited the hideout.

In true clandestine style, you will need to decode this message to find the cache:

Recommended parking:
N 50° 50.036 E 000° 00.698

The walk to the cache from here is up a tarmaced road.
