FBM easily found next to a gate post and alongside a public footpath. I parked to the north by Lad’s Farm and from there it was a 5 minute walk to the FBM.

We came across this benchmark by accident. A scenic spot near the bottom of the Kent Downs escarpment. It is in very good condition.

Out of the way but easy to find by the gate post. Shows some signs of 'attention' from farm equipment etc but in good condition overall, plate missing. Nice views of the river valley

Came across this by accident, whilst passing by on a geocaching trail. First of its type I've found. Brucey Bonus, in that it's also a geocaching YSM cache.

Whilst attending the Kent Mega event and geocaching in the area, parked at the nearby farm and walked up the lane to visit this FBM which was easily found.

Found as YSM611 whilst attending the Kent MEGA. Managed to drive to within 200ft and then walk the rest of the way to the FBM.

There was a man with a strimmer. But obviously not bothered about making sure the FBM was visible.

On the Pilgrim's Way. Nothing to add to previous logs about the mark itself, but i did notice a huge number of "lollipops" at the side of the path nearby. (see photo)... just in the middle of nowhere!

What a lot of lollipops! ©MCL

Good view. Interesting ground vibration at the point where the path emerges from the woods.

Mistakenly took the right fork as didn't read previous logs but got turned back by no trespassing sign & barking guard dogs. Legged it up the left fork & got some quick pics before retreating to the safety of my car as guard dogs were still yapping

Logging retrospectively; seen this many times as I used to live nearby and walked regularly along this route. The exact date is because I placed a Geocache nearby on that date that relied on some text found on the plaque as part of its clue.

Located at the end of farm track next to gate. Fairly good condition apart from a few marks on the the top.

As previously reported this FBM is trucked away up a rough track, which forms part of the ancient Pilgrims Way. The track was passable enough to drive up, and there were no signs visible to say you couldn't. The FBM itself is in good condition although the height plate is missing from the datum point.
