4* Severn bore (past event)
« on: February 05, 2014, 03:03:14 pm »
Over on Cotswold Caching I've started a thread about meeting up for the predicted 4* Severn Bore on the morning of Sunday 2 March.  See http://cotswoldcaching.boards.net/thread/397/4-severn-bore-event and making it an event cache.  For more information as things develop then head over there or feel free to PM through either forum or GC.com.

Thanks for posting on here John, we'll be there all being well - but it's Linda's birthday so she may have other plans!  We'll let you know...

I submitted the event cache listing for review earlier today.  I'll post the GC number and a link to the listing page as soon as it's been published.

Never been to Epney before, what's the parking like if it gets busy?

The road through the village looks (google street view) wide enough for a row of cars to park along.

Does the village flood?

tarmacjohn and walktall, sorry for not replying to your posts.

The road through the village is reasonably wide, so I don't anticipate there being any problems parking.  There's a small pull off area at one of the parking waypoints and there's also the pub car park (they do say on their website that they open for some bores, but I don't yet know if that will include this one). 

I'm not aware of any particular problems of flooding here, although there's always the risk of it occurring.  I intend to check the location out either on the Friday night on my way home from work or on a roundabout route to/from my daughter's swimming lesson on the Saturday morning, and then log an 'Announcement' on the cache listing page.
