Vimmes: this has gone missing a few times and is probably too close to a school to be diving in the bushes - farewell no.3

Geocache Description:

One of a series of caches placed along The Cuckoo Trail between Polegate and Heathfield. Part of Route 21 of the National Cycle Network.

I laid this particular trail especially for cyclists. This series will take you along the 11 miles from Polegate to Heathfield. The trail is surfaced throughout and mainly traffic free. There are a few bits where you need to cross roads or travel on roads through urban areas.
There is little evidence of the old railway line left today but occasionally you spot some gems peeping through the shrubbery and at one point you cycle along what was once a platform. The whole trail is alive with birds and other woodland critters.

Look out for muggle walkers by the thousand at weekends and please be aware that horses share most of the route with you.
The route from Polegate to Heathfield is gently uphill most of the way.
I have tried to place most of the caches only a few paces off the path and in areas where you won't get scratched or stung to death.
