I know that Miriam and Jeff have some directions to DSC up on the website, but this is the route I take which in my opinion is far simpler and quicker :-

Take M20
Come off at Junction 9
Turn right on the roundabout (3rd exit) onto Fougeres Way (A20)
At next roundabout go straight over (3rd exit) onto Templer Way (A28)
At next roundabout go straight over (stay on A28) onto Chart Road (3rd exit)
At next roundabout turn right onto A28 (2nd exit)
At next roundabout turn right onto A28 (2nd exit)
After about a mile take 4th right onto Old Surrenden Manor Road
After about a mile it becomes Pluckley Road (road narrows like a sort of tunnel through the trees here)
Shortly after that the road does a 80 degree right then left chicane then gently starts to turn to the right
You will eventually find a turning on the left with a picture of a large cock on a stick (chicken that is)
After a quarter mile you come to a fork, turn right onto a bumpy narrow track
Follow the road around until you come to a small hamlet and you will see the caravan club sign (tiny sign) on the right at the entrance. However, ignore this and go past it and 100 yards on the right is a gate. This gate leads into the field.
