Day #339 – West Sussex Trio

Trad: 1 Challenge: 1 Virtual: 1
Walked: 3.6 miles

After attending a funeral of a local geocacher early this afternoon, I headed off to West Sussex for my planned trip away. On the way to Chichester, I stopped off to look for three Challenge caches, the Well-Rounded Cacher Challenge Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Unfortunately, I bombed out on Bronze (now proven missing and subsequently replaced) and Silver (just too much vegetation to search in the pouring rain). But I finally struck GOLD – wasn’t sure how, but there it was! Phew.

Nearer where I was staying, I climbed up Trundle Hill to bag a brace – an old Virtual and Trad. I got there to find the cloud base was almost the same height as the hill, and the wind was howling, but both caches were in the bag.

Satisfied with today’s finds, I headed off to my hotel to warm up and have some dinner.

I managed to accidentally leave my GPSr in the car park of the Village Hall after yesterday’s event, so I headed over there first thing this morning to look for it. Luckily it was safe and sound. A great relief!

While I was in the area, I decided to try a few caches.  One I attempted (but didn’t find) in Little Braxted was close to a Trig Point which was nice – haven’t seen one of those for a while.

Another cache highlighted an old K6 phonebox which has been re-purposed to be a little gallery filled by local kids’ art. It was rather funky outside too!

I finished off with a few caches near Inworth, the village sign is rather attractive.
