Description

Saffron Walden Town Council have requested that the location of the proposed geocache is provided to them to ensure that the cache is not treated as litter.

Application Process

Permission: When placing a geocache, you must seek the permission of the Saffron Walden Town Council via the details above.

Labelled: Ensure the geocache container is clearly marked, stating that the content is harmless and giving the placer's e-mail address or other contact method (eg GAGB contact phone number).

Family safe: Only items that would be deemed safe and acceptable for an unaccompanied child to find should be placed in a geocaches

No perishables: No items of food or drink of any kind should be placed in the geocache

Hidden: Geocaches should be placed in a way that they will not be accidentally found by non-geocachers and there should be no visual sign of disturbance.

Respect the land: Geocaches should not be buried. Holes should not be dug to place a geocache. Also, geocaches should not be hidden in animal holes or runs, and fences should never need to be climbed to access the site (other than through a gate or by a stile)

Parking: If parking is not obvious, consider adding a waypoint to indicate a good parking location, to minimise the chance of seekers attempting to drive in unsuitable locations

Maintenance: Maintenance of the geocache is the responsibility of the placer (cache owner)

Area Covered
