GC6QE9Z Route 88 - Break Step (Traditional Cache) in South Wales, United Kingdom created by lefthanded99

This cache has been archived.

lefthanded99: The original philosophy behind the Route 88 caches was to provide an introduction to geocaching. They were all easy terrain caches, in a variety of different types, which could be found by absolute novices.

Unfortunately, many of the caches have started going missing frequently, and the task of replacing them has become an expensive one. It is true that each individual cache is quite small and costs only a few pounds, but as I find myself replacing 2 or 3 every week which I pay for out of my own pocket, I have decided that I cannot afford to continue doing so.

Accordingly I have decided that I will not replace any in future. As each cache goes missing it will be archived, beginning with “Sign of the Times”, “What Allot I’ve Got” and “Break Step”, all of which have gone missing in the last few weeks.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Sustrans Cycle Route 88 will eventually follow a coastal route from Caerleon to Margam Country Park near Port Talbot. At this point it crosses the busy Newport-Shrewsbury railway line via a cantilever bridge. The route is tarmac-covered and wheelchair/buggy friendly, although wheelchair-users would have difficulty with some of the retrieves.

Every boy-scout (and every Roman soldier) knows that you should break step when marching across a suspended bridge. The bridge here is as built about 1600 years after the Romans went home, but I'm sure that the 'break-step' rule still applies.

Please replace the cache as you found it, so as to minimise the possibility of it being seen by accident. Due to Network Rail rules, the cache is not actually on the bridge. Please ensure that you replace it where you found it.

All outdoor activities carry an element of risk. You assume ALL responsibility for your safety when you are geocaching.
Do not stray from the path. There is deep water and marshland close by. Do not try to feed or pet farm animals in fields close to the path as they may not be friendly.
