Jay-walking Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Bhanacharaid: I haven't lived in the area for some years and although I return a couple of times a year, I just don't get around to maintaining most of my old caches. Friends who also helped have also moved on so it's time to close them all down, and make room for new ones.

Geocache Description:

Container: film pot with a hook. 1st of a series of caches taking you in a circular walk through beautiful woods and meadowland bursting with birdsong: Sussex at it's most beautiful. Following public and permissive footpaths, with neither mad cows nor wobbly stiles to negotiate. BUT - TWO MUDDY PATCHES, SO NOT SUITABLE FOR SANDALS.

This small circular walk will take 1-2 hours, depending on how quick you are and whether you detour to get nearby caches. It's generally good terrain and one of my favourite Sunday morning dog walks - easy, enjoyable, manageable and the flora and fauna are gorgeous.

There is a layby at Jay walking and grass bank parking at Sprays Farm and you could go in either direction - but the following directions assumes you'll start at Jaywalking.

The caches in this series are:

* Jay walking

* Merlin takes flight (muddy gateway just by the cache)

* Woodpecker Walk

At the gate beyond Woodpeckers, the permissive path goes through the gate on your right. However, if you carry straight on you could detour to pick up 2 more caches in a fairly short and enjoyable stroll - and even buy honey on the way! The 2 caches are:

* Holly and Ivy

* I'm so rumbly in my tumbly Then can return to the permissive walk gate and carry on the circular walk, ie:

* Bees Knees

* Forked trunks, forked tongue (where you have a marshy walk to...)

* Bottlebrush Bog

* Sprays Farm

A short walk back up the hill will take you back to Jay walking.

I hope you enjoy the walk.
