The nearest cache to Heathrow's Terminal 5 - your TBs and geocoins can rest in comfort whilst taking a break from their travels.
*** 17 March 2009: Following its muggling this cache has been moved to a new location in a different part of the Moor. The car parking coordinates have also been changed, as for a cache and dash the cache is now nearer the smaller of the two car parks. You can access our other four caches from either car park. ***
This is one of five caches we've placed on Harmondsworth Moor. It's very close to the car park for a cache and dash if you're in a hurry, but if you've time why not visit our other caches and enjoy the Moor.
Car parking is at N 51°29.236, W 000°29.372. The entrance to the car park has very high kerbs to prevent large vehicles entering.
Harmondsworth Moor is the largest public park to be created in the London area in the last 100 years. It is built on 240 acres of reclaimed land near Heathrow Airport between the M4, M25 and A4 and has a mix of undulating meadowland, winding footpaths, bridleways, lakes and rivers - the Colne, the Duke of Northumberland's River and the Wraysbury River.
Around 70,000 mainly native trees have been planted and ancient meadows created using specially harvested seed to establish flowers and grasses once common to the area. There is a wide variety of insects resident, such as butterflies, grasshoppers and bush crickets, and many species of bird are breeding here, including lapwing, skylark, kingfisher and sand martin.
Thank you to the Parkland Rangers for allowing us to place this cache.
Since its second muggling in October 2009 the cache is a smaller plastic box than before and very large travellers may not fit in. Our Japanese Bridge cache nearby on the Moor is a bigger box.
