This walk begins and ends in the village of Birling following a series of 36 caches on an interesting and varied walk of just over 6 miles below the North Downs. It links in with the Birling Loop series. The route passes through Birling Ashes and later reaches an early 12th century church at Paddlesworth. After a short ascent beyond the church, the walk continues along the Pilgim’s Way before descending to a path through the outskirts of Snodland and then back to Birling.
The route approximates to a figure of eight but it is also possible to complete the 2 loops separately. The southern loop (1-12 & 31-34) is easily accessible as it goes through Birling village, whilst the northern loop (17-30 & 13-16) can also be reached from the village via a path, along which I have placed two linking caches (16A & 16B). Car parking is available in Birling behind the church. The 36 caches incude 7 multis and 1 puzzle cache and are best completed in ascending order to avoid additional legwork. If the two loops are completed separately the multis at 12 & 30 will involve a short diversion from each loop.
The new route for the Snodland Circuit has become necessary because one of the bridle paths on the original circuit has been poorly maintained of late and has become virtually impassable during the summer months with the rapid growth of nettles and brambles. On the new circuit, 21 are new caches and 15 remain unchanged from the original series.
To avoid later problems, please replace the containers carefully, exactly as found, reinstating any camouflage so as not to leave any caches unduly exposed.
At the end of the walk, refreshments are available a short distance from the parking area.
