Falmer Stadium
From this cache and some of the ones north from here, the Falmer football stadium can be seen. This is used regularly for high profile sports matches as well as a few other events. Construction started in 2008 and was finished in 2011 at a cost of £93 million.
The University uses the stadium as a venue for conferences, career exhibitions, and at a student's favourite time of year (exams)!
The walk and caches
This walk is about 2.5 miles (4 km) with 11 traditional caches. There are also some other caches on route and nearby. The route will take you on a walk around the South Downs National Park on the border of the University. The terrain is varied with some steep climbs, uneven surfaces, and gates.
A wide variety of wildlife can be found on the walk including deer, birds of prey, badgers, rabbits, and plenty of other birds.
More information about the route can be found on the boundary walk leaflet.
The description for each geocache contains some information about what can be seen from the cache and the surrounding area.
