Thank you Geocacher "loesrijns" for rescuing the cache! It was stuck out of reach but it is safely back now.
I created this cache because I could not find many caches for small people, although geocaching itself is great fun for them anyway.
This cache has soft toys - small ones and "pre-loved", not expensive new ones!.
I suggest you add one and leave one! Please feel free to upload a photo or comment on the site. The idea is soft toys, not other toys or objects, thanks.
** IMPORTANT: Before you pull out the cache, please look around to make sure there is no-one approaching. **
Here's a small clue: Don't forget that the obvious hiding place has two ends.
When you are closing the box afterwards, please do snap it shut. It must stay watertight.
If you like walking on the Downs, what you can do is carry on up the Downs after you have found the cache, there are wonderful walks along the North Downs Way in either direction, which you can reach after heading up the same path for another five minutes or so. (Gets very steep). When you get there, the Downs Way is the well-worn path stretching to your right and left.
Enjoy!! Feel free to add to the collection of photos of smiley happy little geocachers who have visited already :-)
NEW ROUTE:
I used to have other routes, but I have removed those because the farmer has put up a "Private" sign. Here are NEW instructions, without crossing any private land:
This way is less muddy and more direct for little people:
1. Go to this entrance gate, which leads into Oxted school grounds:
(visit link)
(Paste the above link into your browser to see it in street view. it is the bend in Park road, Oxted)
2. You can park in Park road. It is a quiet residential road with very little traffic
3. Head off down the public path to the right of the school gate. (Not into the school gate!) Keep on following your nose. At one point you will have to turn left to avoid crossing a field, just keep on in your original direction, walking along the edge of the field towards the M25.
Your destination is the footbridge over the motorway. (Well nearly your destination - use your GPS!)
Take some photos and leave them on this site in this log if you can!
