GAGB has held a meeting with the Forestry Commission Rangers in the New Forest. We had a very constructive meeting which resulted in the provisional agreement of principles to address the sensitive nature of the New Forest environment. These will now be drafted into guidelines and both parties were confident that agreement could be reached.

FC have returned all the caches which they have ever removed (complete with a travel bug and other contents). These will be available for collection at the Winchester Late Xmas Bash by arrangement, or contact Sarah at TeamTate. The travel bug has already been released back into the wild by Sarah.

We are delighted with the new collaborative relationship between the NF Forestry Commission and GAGB, and expect that we will be able to announce permission for the placement of caches and associated guidelines early in the New Year. Feel free to start planning!
