This cache has been archived.

valliantknight: Despite replacing this one a short while ago, it seems the local population (squirrel nutkins?) are intent on stealing this cache. I have therefore taken the executive decision to archive it.

Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a series of 4, which carry clues to find the Knights Challenge Bonus cache. In each of the series you will find a coded reference to part of the coordinates for the final cache. To decode these you need to refer to the further instructions contained in the Bonus Cache page.
This cache is situated on the old Dramway which is a level well-surfaced walk used mainly as a cycle-way and dog-walking route.

The pathcan be accessed at a number of points but there is a parking spot quite close at N51 28 681 W002 28 504. This is a lay-by on the busy ring-road (A4174) and from there you will need to walk a short distance along the verge to a stile which gives access to the path, be careful whilst using this section.

The Dramway was created in the 19th Century to carry coal from the numerous pits in the Bristol coalfield down to the River Avon. This was a horse drawn railway, indeed one of the last in the country before the use of steam power was introduced. It gets its name from the drams or carts, which the horses pulled. The line was in full use until 1866.Follow the path a short way to the bridge; the cache is about 10m off of the hard surface.
