Description EN

Green Uni

The university has a very strong green stance and is located in the only green constituency in the country. Recently, the university has taken action to become more environmentally friendly. This includes recycling paper cups, installing electric car charging stations, installing solar panels and 'living roofs' on the Northfield Residences (see photo), and using electricity only generated from renewables.
The field north of this cache was recently named the ‘Field of Uncertainty’ because it could not be established whether it was on University ground or not for some time. (Turns out it isn't)
Northfield Residences

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.
