The co-ordinates above, are not for the cache, but for the car park at Bagshot station.
This multi-cache starts from Bagshot station, which is close to my SideTracked - Bagshot cache and takes you through the village of Bagshot, past my Drinking Fountain and Troughs 026 - Bagshot and Church Micro 186...Bagshot - St.Anne's Church caches and finishes in Swinley Forest.
The distance from the station to the cache and back, is just under 2 miles. The path in the forest may be a little muddy at times.
