THE GEOCACHE is a family friendly, six inch (15cm) cube lock&lock container, in a camo bag, covered with additional local natural camo, hidden just inside the entrance to the prickly thicket, behind gorse, so watch out for the thorns and spikes! There are swaps, a paper log with pencil, and plenty of room for Travel Bugs. The geocache is placed just off a grass track, and in view from it, but there aren't many passing muggles here. There might be some longish grass. There is NO NEED to trek through the prickly thicket. There are some great views from up here, and the picnic area nearby. Wellies are recommended in wet weather. The geocache is deployed with the kind permission of the Coastal Sites Team, Hampshire County Council.
THE VENUE for the GF series is a family friendly closed loop around Grange Fields, which now forms part of the Westwood site. It has two picnic areas with tables, one exposed with great views, the other reasonably sheltered within the woodland, and also some seats with interesting views. The entrances might hinder buggies and bikes etc unless they are lifted. The paths are a mixture of hard gravel, cut and uncut grass, woodland, and open grass. Most areas are fairly level, but there is a central hill and plateau.
