Bournemouth Council Land - geocaching
I have just come across this statement from Bournemouth Council on the internet and thought I would pass it on just in case it has been passed by:
Unfortunately, following several problems on Council land at a range of parks and nature reserves as a result of geocaching, this activity is not permitted on Council land. Problems have related to the digging up of ground by treasure hunters, concerns raised by local users and residents, and insurance issues, particularly the issue of who would be responsible should there be an accident involving the organiser/geocacher and/or the public.
For more information, please e-mail Bournemouth Parks, or phone 01202 451629

Thanks for this, I have been tasked with reviewing our Landowner and permissions data base. I will look into this one as part of the review.

Using the map on the council website I've created an overlay of ALL the parks which you can open in Google Maps. We reviewers will also use this overlay and will not publish any caches that are within any of the parks. Nature reserves are already on MAGIC so they get flagged up to us anyway. Although the council have said on their website it is a 'range' of parks but not said exactly which ones, I've drawn them all, from playgrounds and allotments to formal gardens. In the event they relent and say some caching is allowed I can easily delete parts of the overlay. Once a GLAD entry is done it can link to the overlay.
