Geocache Description:


This is a 100ml clip box cache located along the Vale of Glamorgan coast.

It contains a few small swaps and a FTF medal.

This cache is pretty much a cash "N" dash but may take a few minutes longer than normal.

The site of the stations was originally a golf course prior to the construction of the first station. Aberthaw A Power Station opened in February 1966, and at the time was the most advanced power station in the world. Aberthaw B Power Station opened in the early 1970s. The A Station operated until 1995. It was subsequently demolished. Its two 425 feet (130 m) chimneys were the last section to be demolished, and were cleared on 25 July 1997. The site currently has 3 generators driven by their own boilers, each producing up to 500MW. New turbines were added which allowed them to generate an extra 28-30MW of power each although still rated at 500MW.
