Up the Junction Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

The Blorenges: After 3 mugglings I am not going to make a new container! Those who found it previously will know what I mean. So look out for a brand new cache in the area soon!

Geocache Description:

The Severn Tunnel Junction railway marshalling yards were once the largest in Europe. The railway lines have long since gone and the ground has been landscaped and laid out with ponds, paths and seating. Although the land is sandwiched between the M4 Second Severn crossing toll plaza and the South Wales main railway line it has become a small haven for wildlife.

Evidence of the area's history is still visible with old wheels, sleepers, coal and clinker. The ground may be rocky but plants and rabbits are rapidly colonising it and birds are nesting around the ponds and in the scrubland. The area is being extended eastwards past the present Severn Tunnel Junction station as more of the old yards area is reclaimed and landscaped.

The cache is very small (no room for swaps) and only has a logbook, so bring your own pencil or pen!

Please note you do not have to lift or move any heavy objects!!
