Geocache Description:

This walk begins and ends in the village of Birling following a series of 36 caches on an interesting and varied walk of just over 6 miles below the North Downs. It links in with the Birling Loop series. The route passes through Birling Ashes and later reaches an early 12th century church at Paddlesworth. After a short ascent beyond the church, the walk continues along the Pilgim’s Way before descending to a path through the outskirts of Snodland and then back to Birling.

There is an additional Church Micro available on the walk at Paddlesworth.

This is the third of my five series of walks on the North Downs that all interlink at some point – from west to east they are the Hognore Hike, Downland Diversion, Trottiscliffe Trail, Birling Loop and Snodland Circuit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Snodland Circuit approximates to a figure of eight but it is also possible to complete the 2 loops separately. The southern loop (1-12 & 31-34) is easily accessible as it goes through Birling village, whilst the northern loop (17-30 & 13-16) can also be reached from the village via a path, along which I have placed two linking caches (16A & 16B). Car parking is available in Birling behind the church. The 36 caches incude 7 multis and 1 puzzle cache and are best completed in ascending order to avoid additional legwork. If the two loops are completed separately the multis at 12 & 30 will involve a short diversion from each loop.

To avoid later problems, please replace the containers carefully, exactly as found, reinstating any camouflage so as not to leave any caches unduly exposed. At the end of the walk, refreshments are available a short distance from the parking area.
