The Geocaching Training Grounds is a series of simple caches that explore the various different cache types available in Geocaching, making it ideal for beginners that are new to the hobby. The caches are hidden within the grounds of the ECOS centre which is open to the public. Please remember to follow The Countryside Code, The Highway Code and Geocaching Guidelines when out caching. The caches are achievable in less than 2 hours following the paths but be prepared, the ECOS is a floodplain for the River Braid, and often after heavy rain the paths will be innundated.
Always remember your pen and tweezers!

What is a Traditional Cache🟢?
A Traditional Cache is the simplest form of a geocache. It consists of a container with a logbook, and is located at the posted coordinates. Cache containers come in many different shapes and sizes. You must sign the logbook to claim a find! Caches may also contain some swappable items. If you take something you should add something or equal or grater value to the container.

This Traditional Cache!
The cache is a small container inside a camo bag. The container when placed contains a log book, pencil and a few small swappables. There is also room for some small TBs. Please ensure ziplock bags are fully sealed and container seals are clipped to ensure no water gets into the cache and causes damage. Please replace the cache where found.
