Cache Summary
A very simple find. For those looking just to add a tickmark to their logs, this should take you no more than a 10 minute detour off the M25, should you happen to be passing, being just a few hundred metres south of J8 of the M25 (A217).
Cache Notes
The question is - what do you find at this location, and what is its date? E-mail your answers to this autoresponder, don't post them here even if encrypted. (Check your spellings.)
As this is a virtual cache, please remember to have your answer confirmed before logging.
In truth, the real value is in the view from this point. Caught at the right time on the right day (choose to arrive at the car park to for dawn or dusk). On a bad day, the weather closes in and visibility is severely limited. On a good day the view can be remarkable. At dawn in the autumn I have seen a fog rolling up and and down the hill from the valley below like a white sea - spectacular - and at dusk the lights of the local town below and Gatwick airport in the middle distance are worthy of the visit. If you have further leisure time it's an ideal place to start a walk from.
For a greater challenge the cache (not for children) Inclined to be Nervous is sited very nearby.
