Geocache Description:

GEOCACHING ON NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

This is a continuation of the series that Dorsetgal started in Dorset (GC1K6MX), after hearing about it how it got established in the US on the Podcacher Podcast, and which FantasticCat has continued in Greater London (GC1N994). Maybe in time it will become established nationwide


Guidelines for this series are below:
1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case, The Curse of the FTF #3) within 1 month... Otherwise the curse will prevent you from ever getting another FTF again!!! Muhahahahahahahaha!
2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along.
3. Cache can be any type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.), but it should be set within the county of Surrey.
4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series.

By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find.

The series so far...
1. Welchman (GC27QX6)
2. North Downs Way(GC27YRA)

3. Cabbage Stalk Town(GC2909J)

Right on to the cache itself!

The North Downs way runs from Canterbury to Farnham, covering 156 miles of footpath. It opened in1978 and runs through the Surrey Hills and Kent Downs. The highet point is Botley Hill near Oxted and reaches a height of 268.8 m (882 ft) - this makes it the third highest hill in Surrey. Most of the current North Downs Way was once the Pilgrims way from the shortest part of the channel in Dover, to Stonehenge in Avebury. Despite its name, the Pilgrims way was formed naturally in the Stone Age. It is an ancient trackway which archaeologists have found to be dated back to 450 - 500 BC. For more information on the North Downs way, see the related link.
