Geocache Description:

A small cache to start the Gossington Round series. 1 of 6 + Bonus


This series of caches has been made possible by kind permission of the Ernest Cook Trust.

If anyone else would like to place caches on the trusts land please contact the estate office (contact details their on website).

Hopefully this short series of caches will entice you to visit this interesting area nestling in the Berkeley Vale. Much of this land was once part of the large Berkeley Estate and even today there are pockets of Berkeley land all the way to Frampton on Severn to South of Berkeley.

This series of caches has been routed to only use paths that are reasonably good all year round, however they are all on farm land and therefore will be affected by weather and any crop that maybe in the field. This makes a good walk for children with plenty of caches all big enough to contain small swaps and trackables. Use a map, preferably the OS 1:25000 Explorer series No.167. If you do not have this use the option below on this page to view the location on Streetmap.co.uk (zoom out to 1:25000 to see the field boundaries etc).

My advice is to use public footpaths rather than bridleways in all but the driest of weather .

Please follow the country code.

This is number one in a series of six caches plus a bonus. Collect the numbers from the underside of the lid of each cache to find the bonus cache. This one can be found in Penny Lane, however I didn't see any beetles when placing it.

Please make sure you re-hide the cache well.
