Geocache Description:


Log sheets are double-boxed in a 120 ml container.

This cache is part of a series created with cycling in mind but . .

Heading downhill from St Martha's on the Downs Link is NOT easy. Although not especially steep, there are very narrow parts and at least two spots where YOU NEED TO BE READY TO DISMOUNT or risk serious injury if cycling. In one case there is a steel pipe running across the path with a 1-foot (30 cm) drop on the down side. At another place, there is a big chunk of metal protruding from the ground on the eastern side. It really juts out.

Another problem, HEADING DOWN OR UP St Martha's Hill with a bike is the number of walkers who also use the path. Negotiating passage on a busy day (good weather / weekends) is likely to be an issue. It is definitely recommended only for experienced cyclists with good mountain bikes..

All these caches can of course be found on foot though, from wherever you may begin or end your caching journey, you will probably need to return along the same route or use 2 cars, leaving your second at another point along the trail.

We have created a Public List of all the caches in this series (including some set by other owners) along the Downs Link trail. We will add new caches, to the list as they are created :) Downs Link Bookmark List

More general information about this series, including many recommended parking locations, can be found on Downs Link - Garden Centre? which is the first cache of the group heading north from West Grinstead Old Station, recognised as the midpoint of the Downs Link bridleway.

Some of the more local parking areas may also be shown as waypoints on this and other caches.
