ThunderCats is an American animated television series that was
developed and produced by Rankin/Bass Productions, debuting in
1985.
Thunders Barrow on the other hand was built a bit before
thundercats, but I like the name symmetry.
So for my 5th trail I invite you to join me on a 5 mile walk around
Thunders Barrow. It's an old settlement where someone lived up to
the end of the Romano British period.
Here's a pic of it, and a map location ....
Next to cache 4 there is a little hill you can walk up for a nice
view, and I think that's Thunder's Barrow. If you stand on it
please yell the thundercats chant just to amuse the locals
Find out more about it here...
Getting there is interesting, since the area is a bit like a
peninsula with all the roads going around it. Try looking for
Erringham Road in Shoreham and then follow sign posts to Mill Hill.
Cross over the big arch bridge which goes over the A27 and keep
going. Park at Beeding Hill which is the 3rd (and I think last) car
park at the end of the long single track road.
The Trail :-
It's a bit windy and exposed on the walk, and it's quite a high
trail giving some really nice views of Shoreham and Lancing as well
as Hogworts (the college)
The paths are very well used, beware of muggles ! Paths seem fine,
nettle free, and firm when it's dry but I expect the chalk surface
is slippery when wet. Saw lots of cyclists so cycle if you dare
!
On the return trip after the final cache keep following the road
(bridleway) back to the main road you drove up to the car park.
Please be careful of cars as this is a single track road. Also
watch out for tanks (?!!), as someone has put up a roadsign saying
tanks crossing just after Erringham Farm ....huh ?!
As well as the nice views there are cows, sheep, rabbits, and hawks
to look out for.
