This cache was set to welcome geocacher Slimey and his family to
their new home in Chepstow.
Naturally, the trail can be very slimy and slippery when wet, but
it has a lot of interest. Boots recommended, maybe even wellies.
The route is suitable for children, but not buggies. Allow about an
hour to complete the circuit. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PENCIL AND PAPER
WITH YOU.
Suggested parking at the co-ords at the top of the page. Take the
(sometimes) slimy green footpath down the slope… you are seeking
the micro at Slimy’s first home at N51º 37.785 W2º 39.042. The
approach may be wet underfoot…that’s how Slimy likes it. He has a
home with a view over the River Severn to the Old Severn Bridge and
Oldbury power station. This channel of the Severn, along the west
bank, is called the Slime Road. When you’ve located the micro, make
a note of the co-ordinates for Slimy’s second home – PLEASE DO NOT
REMOVE THE LAMINATED STRIP! – and continue to find the path leading
“onwards and upwards” at N51º 37.913 W2º 38.952. You will cross
Slimeroad Pill - blink and you’ll miss it (probably just as well).
In the summer, there are butterflies and dragonflies along this
stretch of the walk, also blackberries, sloes and elderberries in
season. You can find interesting fossils in some of the fallen
rocks too. The path will lead you to a significant stone at N51º
37.951 W2º38.904. At the stone admire the view and find the three
numbers on the stone : xyz You now have all the necessary
information to locate the cache at Slimy’s second home.
The cache is a regular clip-lock container with the usual
swaps...and a "slimy" FTF prize.
