Geocache Description:


Welcome to my Otham Ramble series. This is my first series of caches I have placed and I hope you enjoy the walk and enjoy the views as much as I did when I placed this series.

Otham is a small village just outside of Maidstone, Kent. The village contains a Pub, Church, Local fooball club and also has a wildlife area close to the village.
Near to the village as well you will find Stoneacre which is a Medieval yeoman's house built in the 15th century.
The 15th-century half-timbered yeoman's house, features a great hall and is surrounded by a glorious garden, orchard and meadows.

The walk is approximately 7 miles long and will take roughly 4 hours to complete.

This series consists of a total of 20 caches. Most of the caches are small 35mm pots inside large camouflaged specimen pots. There are a few 35mm pots too and 3 small click and lock boxes to hold TBs and Geocoins in if you wish to place any. None of the caches contain a pen so you will need to bring your own. All the caches contain a log book to sign.

Please replace caches as you have found them and always be cautious when retrieving them, as the area can be quite busy with dog walking muggles etc.
There are a couple of hilly sections on the walk which can be found between caches 11 and 12. When I placed the series there were some horses on the fields grazing. So please keep you dogs under control.

From #16 walk along the road a little further and the footpath will be on the right. Walk along the field and go over the stile in front of you. Carry straight ahead keeping a look out for the stone public bridle way signs. You will walk slightly round to the right and then straight ahead down one of the isle of trees. When you get to the end of the isle of trees you will need to turn left.
You will see some white signs with red arrows on.
PLEASE IGNORE THESE as it will take you into the wrong part of the fruit farm where there is a lot of poly tunnels.
Keep walking along the edge of the field which will bend round to the left and then to the right.
