This series provides a walk of around 11km on footpaths and very quiet roads starting at Effingham Junction (EFF) rail station. It is family friendly and all the caches are intended as quick finds with (hopefully) generous hints.
There is pay and display parking in the Effingham Junction station car park.
There are places along the route for a picnic if the weather is good, although there are few benches and tables, so a picnic rug would be useful.
Walking boots or wellingtons are recommended, particularly following or during wet weather.
The route crosses one busy road (A246) and a golf course, so please take great care with children and pets.
Originally intended as a walk from Effingham Junction to Boxhill & Westhumble, but due to difficulties placing caches on the National Trust land, the route heads back to Effingham Junction to make a circular walk, with the last part repeated.
This means there are two caches "in a siding" half-way round which could be skipped if you are short of time. These two caches will likely be archived in the near future.
A short version of the route can be achieved by parking (on-street) close to cache 1.29 and starting the circuit at 1.9, skipping the first 8 caches
If travelling to the start point by train, please check the website of South Western Railway or Southern Railway for latest times and fares information.
We hope you have a very enjoyable walk.
This cache is in a 35mm container. Please bring your own pen.
