Magnetic micro you will need and Pen! and please place it back exactly as it was found.
This micro is situated at a popular walking area called One Tree Hill (information bellow) the terrain makes it easy to get to the micro and is very near to the free car park (5 meatres away) makes a good “Cache and Dash”. If you have more time walk up to the amazing views and have a picnic – but please take you rubbish home with you.
MUGGLE WARNING! It is a very busy area at times the micro location is near a interpretation board about the wood which actually contains a cue in its text to help you find the micro so if you read this I will help time pass for the muggles to move on by.
Happy hunting

One Tree Hill is held principally for landscape reasons, but it is also owned and managed for its wildlife and recreation value. The woodland paths at One Tree Hill are highly valued by walkers and horse-riders.
Major changes in the character of One Tree Hill have taken place since its acquisition in 1911. At this time, the area would have been much more open, with large areas of land worked as arable and pasture, with some tree cover. By 1987 it had become largely wooded, with some glades remaining. The storm of October 1987 blew down most of the trees, which have recovered very well, either from the stump or through natural regeneration.
One Tree Hill is thought to be the site of a Roman cemetery. However, no evidence has been found to support this theory.
Dr and Mrs Jamieson Hurry purchased One Tree Hill in 1911, in order to protect the area under the 1907 National Trust Act. It was purchased in memory of Mrs Jamieson Hurry's father Arthur Hill, half brother of Octavia Hill.
Rising to 679ft (207m) above sea level this 35-acre (14ha) property, on the Greensand Ridge, south east of Sevenoaks in Kent, lies between two major National Trust properties - Ightham Mote to the east and Knole to the west. Most of the property is included within the One Tree Hill and Bitchet Common SSSI which is an extensive area of semi-natural woodland lying on the scarp and plateau above.
One Tree Hill, enjoyed mostly by local people and dog walkers, is a tranquil site with a network of paths, including the Greensand Way, a long distance footpath between Reigate in Surrey and Maidstone in Kent. At the highest point of the hill is an open area with a good view to the south over the Weald of Kent. There is car parking for up to 20 cars on the western boundary of the property.
Among the plants and animals supported by the diverse habitats at One Tree Hill are several unusual molluscs, including Rolfs door snail, a point snail (Acicula fusca), and a large slug (Tandonia rustica) for which this was the first recorded locality in Britain.
Facilities
* Fine views and picnic area
