Dist:0.7km northeast<br/>This ditch and a strong fence from where the camera was being dangled marks the limit of the gridsquare according to my GPS. The railway embankment is truly inside it.

Dist:0.7km northeast<br/>... is heading towards Prestatyn. Unfortunately my GPS indicated that the southwest corner of this gridsquare forming the embankment and railway beyond lay just out of reach on the other side of a strong fence and a rather wide, ditch full of stagnant water, so I settled for a supplemental here.

Dist:0.9km north<br/>The pools of water do not give much clue as to the depth of the ruts below the bridge. They are pretty deep. The metal box contains a valve which released some excess gas as I passed by.
