The whole walk has a good terrain. Allocate 2 to 3 hours for the walk and a refreshment break. Take a camera for the stunning views. If it is a hot day protect yourself from the sun with cream and a hat - there is no shade on this route.

The emphasis is on the scenic views and exercise since the caches are in obvious locations with a generous description.

Park on the street in Goldhanger village or at the Chequers pub (but get permission first).
