Geocache Description:

The Downland Diversion provides an excellent circular hike avoiding the puzzle caches and very steep ascent of the escarpment involved in the full Hognore Hike. It follows the route of one of my favourite walks in this area of the North Downs, passing through beautiful and varied countryside - including woodland, chalk grassland and footpaths through fields below the Downs. To enjoy the fine views the walk should, ideally, be completed in good weather.

This is the last of my five series of walks on the North Downs that all interlink at some point – from west to east they are the Hognore Hike, Downland Diversion, Trottiscliffe Trail, Birling Loop and Snodland Circuit.

1st Location: N51° 19.532 E0° 21.467

The published co-ordinates will bring you to a blue waymarker with five words:
ABC DE
From here follow the path across the grass downland that runs in an easterly direction, parallel to the power line. (Don't take the left-hand path that rises up the escarpment.) You would be unlucky not to spot a rabbit ahead as you make your way along this path.

2nd Location: N51° 19.532 E0° 21.667

Further along the path you will come to a black waymarker with five words:
FGH JK
