This series of caches is a long term legacy of the popular 2014 White Cliffs Walking Festival week. Over a thousand people attended a multiple choice of events, tailored to suit everybody. This is the first time that Geocaching has been provided by Ramblers and featured in the programme.

This is the second cache in a series of 25 that have been placed along two National WalkingTrails, The North Downs Way and The Saxon Shoreway from Capel le Ferne to Dover. The caches have been set with permission from Natural England and The White Cliffs Countryside Partnership. Some of these areas are set in areas of SSSI. Please avoid disturbance of plants and animals.

If you find all 25 caches you will qualify for a unique Harveyjj souvenir for your public profile.

The local Ramblers celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2014, so that is why 25 caches have been set. They include a bonus cache called ‘Celebrating 25’. Clues for this special cache are hidden in this series. Don’t forget to write down the details as you find them and you will have the co-ordinates. This cache is hidden ‘somewhere’ in our spectacular White Cliffs countryside.

Many public rights of way are now being improved by Ramblers and local walkers who are giving their time on a voluntary basis. They are also providing voluntary labour to install new stiles, steps, kissing gates, safety rails and bridges. This work has been undertaken for the benefit and enjoyment of all walkers. They want to encourage more people to use public rights of way and keep them open safe for the enjoyment of future generations. What better way to get people to use footpaths than to set a few geocaches.

This is a breathtaking linear walk to Dover across the legendary White Cliffs.  On a clear day you can see across the English Channel to France.  Sadly, we can't promise you any blue birds over the White Cliffs of Dover, but we can offer you some decent caches to add that extra bit of fun.

Please be aware that there are several steep climbs up and down steps and hills. Some paths can become very slippery when wet. In some parts the route is very close to the cliff edge.

This route has been designed to start from Capel le Ferne because the ascent is less strenuous when walked from this direction and you will get better views. The multi and mystery cache clues have been designed to suit that direction. They have been hidden along a five mile stretch of the cliff top footpath, often passing through open access land. You will see many reminders of wartime activity. The entire area is shrouded in centuries of history. You will also pass above Samphire Hoe and get a bird’s eye view of reclaimed land created from spoil removed during the drilling of the Channel Tunnel.

Please bring a pen for all caches - if you do not physically sign the logsheet please DO NOT log a 'Found It' log online, otherwise your log may be deleted. Tools for probing and extracting will be required for some of the caches.

The given co-ordinates will take you to some people who can help you with the clues
The position of R in the longest word = A
The number of letters in the lowest word inside the triangle =B
How many F’s are there? = C
How many policemen? + B = D
How many letters in the top line + 1 = E
