Geocache Description:

This cache is on National Cycle Network route 41 near Seabank Power station.

Seabank Power Station is a natural gas fired power station located in Hallen Marsh in Bristol. The two parts opened in 2000 and 2001 and together produce 1145 MW of power - enough for roughly 1.6 million people.


The idea for this cache is to get you on your bike. It is located just off the path along NCN route 41, and you get green points if you post a photo in your log to show you used 'pedal power'. The route nearby is almost completely flat, off road and tarmac surfaced so no excuses! Try CycleStreets to plan your journey. Severn Beach railway station is just over 2 miles from the cache site and the National Cycle Network is well signposted from there. Route 4 and regional route 10 also pass nearby.

If you do want to drive, there is a small car park just near the entrance to the power station. Turn right before you get to the barriers - the cache is a couple of minutes walk from there. Being a surfaced traffic-free cycle route, the cache is child and wheelchair friendly, although wheelchair users might struggle over the last few metres to the cache itself. Watch out for nettles in the grass (unless you're playing Cachebusters! See GC2JQNW)

The area is very quiet, with only the occasional cyclist and twitcher about. From nearby there are good views of the estuary and the M4 Severn Bridge.

You are looking for a small Brylcreem tub (black with a red top) with just enough space for a couple of small swaps/trackables. Please make sure it is screwed properly shut and placed securely where you found it.

Congratulations go to Captain Gore-Tex for FTF!
