GC2KEXZ Gloucester Business Park: Off Yer Trolley (Traditional Cache) in Southern England, United Kingdom created by Mzebonga

This cache has been archived.

Mzebonga: After the recent DNF and a separate note from a cacher who didn't log their DNF at all, I thought I'd stop by and check this one out.

As feared, this one is missing again. After some thought and consideration of other potential hides, it seems like it is time to put this one to bed. It's a little sad as its only 3 months short of its 10th birthday and it would have been the second of my hides that made it to the 10 year mark (excluding adopted caches) and only 21 short of 500 finds (at archiving, it stands as my most found hide - including adopted caches!)

Fingers crossed, someone else can find a good hide for an "Off Yer Trolley" in this area. Thanks for all the logs over the years.

Geocache Description:

Small, camoflaged micro cannister (kindly donated by Questor Thews)

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 "Off Yer Trolley" series is another popular series in the vein of "Sidetracked" that hasn't quite reached Gloucester and Cheltenham, so here is the first.

Not going to talk about the supermarket because they're quite adept at talking about themselves.

Congratulations FTF!
