Geocache Description:

A short series that combines two of my favourite things - caching and ale.  Set in the grounds of Basildon Sporting Village and Gloucester Park.


Hard Work

Having been on a few brewery tours, it is always interesting to hear the stories of the people who worked in the breweries.  How quite often the delivery boys were tipped with a beer at each stop, how sometimes people died in the breweries when they were trying to clean things.  It shouldn't be forgotten that whilst it is now an incredibly mechanised process there is a lot of hard work that goes into your simple pint.

The series

There was a set in this area of Gloucester park that was among the first caches I ever did, so when they were archived I thought it might be worthwhile creating a set that were harder to be muggled. 

 You will need tweezers and to bring your own pen/pencil.

Gloucester Park is a large park built to separate the town centre and the industrial estates nearby.  It has now been split and part is owned by the Sporting Village and the council own the rest, some of which is being developed into housing estates.

Parking for the series is available for free in the Sporting Village car park.  I have been given permission for the caches providing I make it clear that you do NOT need to climb any fences or enter any fenced areas of the Sporting Village.  All caches are reachable without climbing a fence.

Almost back by the car.
