Geocache Description:

SideTracked Day 2026

Monday 10 August 2026 marks the 19th anniversary of the SideTracked Series. The first cache in the series being GC15082 The First Ever SideTracked - Evesham. SideTracked Caches are not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view, but to provide quick Cache-and-dashes at Train Stations. More Information can be found at the SideTracked Website

Come and celebrate the series' anniversary! We shall be at the benches outside the front of the station for half an hour from 7pm. Or, if the weather is really bad, sheltering under the nearest cover. We can view the progress on building the new ticket office, and afterwards if anyone fancies it we can head to a nearby pub to discuss who's endured the most delayed train journey...
