I did a page up for our BoulderCache in the forest, then sent it off to be reviewed and published.
Turns out they wont publish it until I give proof that the recreational dept of the forest have given it the green light.
From what I've read on the Geocaching Assoitation Of Great Britains website, is that they've managed to secure a blanket agreement with the forestry for the placement of Geocaches and have also been given a boundries map and a list of conditions that your cache must meet. http://www.gagb.co.uk/gagb/glad/index.php
Well our cache falls into the map and meets with the listed conditions. things like no digging holes, no placing on animal runs, no placeing at historical sites, or fragile plantlife areas etc.....just the common sense stuff that us cachers follow anyway.
So I'm waiting to hear back from the Rec-department at the forestry and then will try and publish the cache again.

Still not heard back from the Forestry, so I've emailed the owners of the other Caches that are dotted about the forest, asking them how they managed to get them placed.
