In July 2024, a new cycle path was created in North Somerset stretching between Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare. Known as the ‘Pier to Pier Way cycle path’, this will hopefully also be part of the solution to fill in the gaps in the English Coast Path between these towns which should be resolved within the next two to three years. The 13 mile cycle route utilises footpaths, quiet road routes and traffic free stretches.
This series of caches will eventually run between the two piers and will gradually be created during the latter part of 2024 and early 2025 with the aim of it being fully completed in time for the Severn Mega in 2025. It will follow the official Pier to Pier route but may on occasion, utilise other public footpaths where these are more convenient or provide a more scenic route.
Grateful thanks is given to Sustainable Travel together with the Open Spaces team at North Somerset Council for giving their permission to create this series of caches.
This is the fifth of the caches and is a traditional cache and an extraction tool would be helpfull here. Have had to make this one a Multi in view of other caches hidden near the headline co-ordinates. At the Headline co-ordinates identify the telephone number for the Environment Agency and assigned letters as follows: ABCDE-FGHJKL; the final cache location will be found at N51 25.F(E-H)D W002 52.(C-F)LJ
The Blind Yeo sluice reduces the risk of flooding to the Clevedon area caused by the Blind Yeo and Clevedon Pill watercourses at their meeting with the Severn Estuary, together with the run-off from the M5 Motorway.
As with all caching sites, when searching for caches please do not damage any wildlife or fauna; all caches have been placed to be found and within a couple of feet of the footpath.
