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 eighteenth of the caches and is a traditional cache. This cache can be found on the approach to Middle Lane which will take you towards the village of KIngston Seymour. THe village was flooded in the 1607 Bristol Channel Floods which were probably caused by a tsunami possibly caused by a landslip or earthquake on the Canary Islands. Again, a tool for extracting the log sheet would be helpful.
Caches 11-18 follow lightly-used tarmacced lanes although there are no spaces available for parking (except just by cache 10); as these lanes can be quite bendy in places, please make sure you follow the Highway Code’s recommendations by keeping to the right hand side but considering crossing the road when approaching right hand bends.
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.
