Geocache Description:


There has been a rumour of a "Bigfoot" sighting in Sussex and in the area. 

Therefore not wanting to be left out we are setting up  an observation point to see if the sighting can be confirmed

The meeting time is dusk (the rumour is that the best time to see the hidden creature is as the sun goes down) is at the Tilgate Forest Car Park just below the dam of the Tilgate Lake.

The event is from 20:30 to 21:30 and is Car Park based, If the thought of going to look for the Bigfoot is too scary then there is no need to leave the relative safety of the Car Park where attendees can record their attendence and take part in all the usual Geocaching Event activities - Travel Bug, Discovery, Swaping - Chatting etc

There will be hints provided as to the location of sightings therefore providing hunters with the opportunity to verify the sighting(s) and go for a wander about Tilgate Park at their leisure, these hints etc can only be provided after the event

Bring your GPS, camera of course as the position of any sighting must be recorded

If you are in any doubt about what you are looking for history has the following tales

Legends of Bigfoot have been reported around the world since the 1850s but sightings became popular during the twentieth century as hunters often reported sightings of large ape-like men in the forests. 

In North American folklore, Bigfoot or Sasquatch is a hairy, upright-walking, ape-like being who reportedly dwells in the wilderness and leaves behind large footprints. Strongly associated with the Pacific Northwest, individuals claim to see the creature across North America.

Bigfoot in the British Isle, There is captured the image, claims it could be the most convincing evidence yet that Britain is home to the mythical beast in Lincolnshire. Also a hunt for the elusive beast in woods near Caerphilly Mountain, North of Cardiff, where a surreal experience was had of large man like beast in the woods, a surreal sighting
