The first in a new series of caches to celebrate the old festivals which marked the changing year.
The Autumn Equinox is celebrated when day and night are of equal duration before the descent into increasing darkness and is the final festival of the season of harvest.
In nature, the activity of the summer months slows down to the hibernation for the winter. For many Pagans, now is time to reflect on the past season.
It is also a time to recognise that the balance of the year has changed, the wheel has turned and summer is now over.
Astrologers will recognise this as the date the sun enters the sign of Libra - the Scales of Balance.
"We give ourselves time to stop and breathe deeply, to feel the satisfaction of what has been achieved, to start to relax." Emma Restall Orr, Joint Chief of the British Druid Order
The cache is in a small lock-top box and contains a selection of small swaps. It will also hold geocoins and small travelbugs.
