Gloucester Business Park: The Last Post Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mzebonga: During the last couple of visits that I made to this cache, I have been concern about the amount of dumping that is done in the nearby area. When I stopped by today, it was clear that it will only get worse.

It's a real shame as there was no hint of the rubbish when I planted this two years ago. Hopefully, if someone does something about it, I might get a cache back here one day.

Geocache Description:

Small camoflaged 35mm container.

Gloucester Business Park is a relatively new development on the outskirts of Gloucester. Largely defined by the presence of a large supermarket and various distribution hubs, it also borders on the Cooper's Edge residential area.

The Business Park is easily accessible from the M5 at Junction 11a and can offer weary travellers the opportunity to pitstop for food or a night's rest at the local Inns.

The Park itself is based on the old airfield for the Gloster Aircraft Company where Frank Whittle's Gloster E.28/38 turbojet underwent some of it's taxiing trials. Some remnants from the old airfield are still visible in the area along with an old WW2 gun emplacement at the top of nearby Nut Hill (GC1DZBE).

The Park also has access via footpaths to Cooper's Hill (GC79CB), where the annual cheese rolling event takes place.

About the cache
The Last Post is one of the remaining pieces of the old airbase. The road up to the cache is not accessible by car and has no street lighting so a nighttime caching excursion may not be the best idea.

The area, however, is not well travelled and should make for a relatively quiet find. Wheelchair users and buggies will probably be able to get near the GZ but not the final couple of metres to make the retrieval. The road, however, can be a little bit bumpy and is occasionally obstructed by dirt piles.
Congratulations FTF!
