Geocache Description:

Magentic Nano Cache

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
This was the original Gloucester Business Park cache placed by matanza and taken over by Mzebonga (for whom it was a first ever find!)

The cache is (re)named for a breeding pair of Moorhens who live in the nearby pool. They've been spotted in the height of winter standing on the edge of the waterfall, trying to keep warm but still reappear every spring with a new chick to feed. Please feel free to mention whether your saw them in your logs and post any pictures you may have of them!

The location is wheelchair accessible but the cache itself is not. Best parking is in the nearby Tesco supermarket.

This cache has been rehidden very well with increasing levels of cunning, please make sure you replace it similarly.
