Geocache Description:

A small/medium sized cache which contains a log book, pen and is suitable for geocoins, travel bugs and swaps.

For this series of caches I thought a bird-related theme was in order, due to the abundant species in and around where the caches have been placed; lots of woodland, scrubland and open fields and hedgerows.

Those of you that have done my Owlbeech Ramble, or Something Fishy Going On series will know what to expect.

One of a series of caches to take you on a semi-circular wander through another of Horsham’s hidden treasures, the woods near Faygate and [Wimland] and the mixed grazing lands south of Faygate and north of Horsham, including Old Holbrook and Bush Lane.

The caches are all just off the footpath, and none are too far from the beaten path. Parking can be found at Faygate Station, North Horsham [N 51° 05.327 W 000° 19.232 near a crossing of the A264]or you might be able to park along Wimlands Lane. There is extensive tree cover in some places and GPSr reception may be very patchy!

The woodland scene is ever changing through the seasons providing year round interest. The woods and fields along this walk are used by lots of wildlife.

When you get to the end, you can either reverse your travel or simply choose your own route using the many other footpaths and bridleways to get you back to where you parked.

The series consists of caches ranging in size from Micro caches which contain nothing but a log book to Small/Medium caches which contain a log book, pencil, sharpener, pen and are able to contain geocoins, travel bugs and small/medium swaps. There is also an unspecified sized cache for those that like a tougher challenge.

You may require some stealth as some of these caches are placed in areas used by children and dog walkers, or close to a road, so beware of muggles!

Please ensure that you put it back in exactly the same place and way and replace any camouflage used to ensure that it can't be seen, thanks!
