Having walked through Purton ships graveyard otherwise known as Purton Hulks. When you reach GZ turn to the south east and take 10 paces.
The banks of the River Severn have historically suffered from erosion by the tide. Between 1909 and 1965 redundant and unwanted vessels were beached on the foreshore and allowed to fill with silt. These formed a barrier and helped prevent the river eroding into the canal embankment. The 81 boats now form one of the largest collections of histroric inland waterway craft in Britain. The foreshore and river are part of the Severn Estuary, SSSI and of international importance for birdlife, especially wildfowl and wading birds. This area can be muddy. For your safety please keep to the trodden paths and away from the tidal foreshore. Avoid climbing on the vessels and be aware of hidden debris in the long grasses. Whilst we were placing the cache, we saw the Orient Express go past in the distance. The coordinates are clear of the tree line, you will need to go into a natural break in the tree line. Please be careful looking for the cache and not to damage the area as its in a SSSi site.
