TWEEZERS REQUIRED. to no.5 log it u will need to cross this field, over a stile down the bank and then WALK DIAGONALLY TO THE STILE IN THE CORNER OF THE GARDEN. NOT THE GATE BY THE HOUSE. Be careful as it tends to be boggy here. BYOP
Having left GZ @ no.3 you will pass Pitsham Farm Farmhouse and then Pitsham Brickworks which is to the left side of the farm cottages. The closest cottage to you on approaching the footpath is where I once lived. Many memories of exploring the countryside from breakfast to tea time!! Farms is a series of 10 traditional caches set in an almost circular walk of approx. 2.5 miles around three farms, passing the three farm cottages where I once lived as a child. The three farms are: • Cocking Park Farm which used to be known for its piggery • Pitsham Farm • Hawkhurst Farm, known to me as “Alan Sinclair’s Farm” along Cocking Causeway The walk will take you through meadows, over wooden bridges, streams, past mighty oaks, lime trees & superb conker collecting trees, through fields of horses, under the old Midhurst & Chichester railway bridge, past Richard Cobden’s Obelisk, giving great views of the downs and its countryside. It should take approx 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. I have put “not pushchair accessible” as there are quite a few stiles, ground can be a little muddy & bumpy in places, however there is nothing stopping you from lifting buggies over!!! We set the cache with a four year old in tow and she enjoyed the walk. The walk trails along Bridle paths & Public footpaths, although there is some limited lane walking and a very busy main road to cross over twice. There are approx 8 stiles and a kissing gate on this loop. It can be muddy in places, especially in the marshy lowlands and during rainy times. Parking is available at N 50 57.766 W 000 44.782 (the start of the series) along Bex Lane, a short stroll back to main road will set you on your way.
