This cache, as the name suggests, is intended to be collected
between the 6th and 7th caches of the original series. However, it,
and its 6.x bretheren, can be done in isolation, in which case the
difficulty comes down to around 2*/2* and the suggested parking can
be found below. Note: the "HC 6.x" caches
almost form a loop but "HC 6.1" will be an out and back.
The National Trust have kindly given permission for these
caches.In return they ask that we all keep as far as possible to
existing paths and tracks - their concern being that not to do so
may cause disturbance and damage to unspoilt areas, particularly
during the bird nesting season. To this I will add that you'll get
round quicker! One last point, please remember
GEOCACHING ON NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY IS AT YOUR OWN
RISK.
GPS reception can be poor so I can't guarantee the accuracy of
my co-ordinates. I have, however, picked reasonably obvious hiding
places and given pretty generous hints, so I hope you don't have
too much difficulty. The grading is given for doing the whole
series in one visit. Any individual cache will be easier than this.
Doing the whole series in one push (recommended) should take two to
four hours. The common can be wet in places at the best of times,
so I'd advise boots. A compass and the Ordnance Survey Explorer 146
(1:25,000) Dorking, Box Hill & Reigate map could also be
useful.
There are also a number of puzzle caches on the Common but apart
from
SECRET SQUIRREL they're all quite hard......
The cache container (900ml clip lock) does
not contain a pen nor pencil, so please
take your own writing implement. The log is to be found in its own
little screw top container.
