The cache is a magnetic 35mm film pot.
The start co-ordinates are for the location of the underground Royal Observer Corp bunker at Cuckfield. The cache is located a short way to the south-east.
This post is open for public viewings at various times of the year.
I laid the cache when I viewed it today (25 July 10). Thanks Mark, and Ed.
Apologies for the delay in publishing this cache.
You can also get an idea of what it looks like by watching the two short video clips that can be seen by searching for "TOCSIN BANG - The Cold War Story of the Royal Observer Corps" and "Sentinels of Britain - The Wartime Story of The Royal Observer Corps".
I was very pleased to see that two of my old Lewes Post colleagues, Denise and Philip, appear in the clips.
It is also possible to see a mock-up of a Royal Observer Corp Post at Newhaven Fort (a little west of the Hope cache); pay to enter.
The display uses the old equipment from the Lewes Post. It even shows the original keys and locks that were used to secure the hatch down to the Monitoring Room - for which I still have a key.
Final location:
N: start location minus 0.043 Minutes
W: start location minus 0.100 Minutes
