This series comprises 14 caches. Please bring a pen/pencil to sign the logs, and tweezers.
This is a very pleasant circular walk of about 3.5 miles, mostly level, but not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs as it gets very muddy in places. Also a couple of styles and several kissing gates.
Mostly on bridleways and footpaths, with a couple of short stretches on country roads. The roads aren’t usually busy, but please take care as the few cars can be going quite fast. Wellies or walking boots recommended.
There is a car park by the Sutton village hall at N50°55.684', W000°36.469.
You might want to check out the Fine Pair in the village of Sutton while you’re in the neighbourhood.
The magnificent tree at this location was painted by the watercolour artist S.R. (Roy) Badmin. At the age of 26 he became one of the youngest ever members of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours. He died on 28th April 1989, and coincidentally this cache was placed shortly before the 30th anniversary of his death. He was also the grandfather of geocacher natterjacktoad, who used to have a hide at this location, but archived it in 2013. So it was very fitting that natterjacktoad claimed the FTF in this rejuvenated version of the cache.
'Calling in the hounds at the Mile Oak', Bignor West Sussex. 1964

Congrats to natterjacktoad for the swift FTF within 5 hours of this series being published!
