The SideTracked series of geocaches are fairly easy to find caches which can be found at or near train stations, ex-train stations or near miniature railways. The first SideTracked geocache was placed at Evesham, about 50km south of Birmingham in the UK, on the 10th August, 2007.

I'm really hoping you can make it to this event and help the community to celebrate this great series of geocaches.
