Letterboxing in Midhurst and the surrounding area

Bit of a further trip out for me today, or at least it is from where I'm based it and the boxes are pretty scattered to its a lot of driving and only one box for each stop. I suppose that it could be possible for you to walk between a number of them if you were local, but I'm working on the grounds that given the first box was over an hour away in the car, I want to get as many as possible in the one day so that I'm not repeating the trip too often.

Ended up finding 4 in the end and having to cut short the number of boxes that I looked for. My own fault really for heading off down the wrong path from on of the car parks. This meant repeating the whole escarptment of the noth side of the south downs when I didn't have to, and having to re-walk certain bits to regather my bearing. Never mind. I looked for 7 in total and will provide more information on the ones that I couldn't find one I've heard back from the owners of the boxes confirming their status. I've still a few more to find in that area anyway, so will head back out once feedback has been received.

So, have fun with the following 5, but bear in mind there may be others in the area you can look for at the same time that I have yet to find or set out looking for.
