A Small Taste Of Bigger Things To
Come
Starting from the Eridge Rocks Nature reserve car
park you’ll firstly head out over open fields (a bit of a
boring flat featureless field for the first 700 mtrs I’m
afraid with no opportunities for a cache but it gets better)
towards Harrison Rocks then along a section of the Spa Valley steam
railway line up to Groombridge where you’ll see some old
rolling stock. Then on past Groombridge Place towards High Rocks
and by kind permission of the RSPB and Sussex Wildlife Trust, back
through Broadwater Forest, crossing into Broadwater Warren at the
main RSPB Reserve car park and finally back through the Eridge
Rocks Nature Reserve
itself.
You‘ll see that there are several access
points to this walk with various parking areas so there’s
plenty of opportunity to start wherever you like or split it up
into a series of shorter walks... BUT PLEASE DON'T DRIVE DOWN ANY
PRIVATE ROADS OR
DRIVEWAYS.
The route comprises a total mixture of surfaces.
Some good even after heavy rain but others muddy and some very
muddy indeed so don’t expect to go home with clean
boots.
The caches are mainly micros with no pens/pencils
but there are four larger caches for swaps, TB’s and
GC’s etc.
There are no puzzles, formulas, bonuses or gimmicks
on this series, just a good long walk with minimal gradients and
passing some interesting locations. It's substantially dog friendly
with no livestock (not when we were there anyway), little roadwork
and no 'dog-unfriendly'
stiles.
In general, attributes are for the whole series but
we have selectively put in a parking attribute where caches are
fairly close to a public road. Also there are no bikes or horses
allowed in the RSPB Reserve - Caches # 20, 21 & 22 or in the
Sussex Wildlife Trust area, Caches 24 &
25.
Good luck and have
fun.
