Geocache Description:

I thought it was a shame that Farnham didn't have a sidetracked cache - so as I lived in the local area I thought I'd lay one!

***OFFICALLY FARNHAM's MOST POPULAR CACHE!***

Farnham railway station serves the town of Farnham in Surrey. It is located on Station Hill by the level crossing that carries the Alton Line. The town centre is about ten minutes away on foot and is well worth a visit if only to complete other local caches 'Time for a puzzle in Farnham' and the 'Gostry Meadow Mirco'.

Train services are provided by South West Trains, with direct trains running to Aldershot, Alton, Woking, Surbiton, Clapham Junction and London Waterloo. Steam trains and freight trains are seen quite often, travelling from/to the Watercress Line and Holybourne oil terminal.

There is a buffet in the ticket hall selling newspapers, hot and cold beverages, confectionery, snacks, hot food and tobacco products at typical station prices.

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson travelled by train to Farnham in "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist". Holmes said, "A beautiful neighbourhood and full of the most interesting associations."

The cache is located within 75ft of the main entrance to the station and almost opposite the Taxi rank. There are parking bays that are free for 20mins just outside the station but you menat to be there for 'station business' (I'll let you decide if you feel geocaching if 'station business').

It should be reasonably easy to find. Small sized cache in camo bag.

Watch out for muggles as a bus stop is only a few foot away!

***Congratulations to Westie Walker for FTF!!!***
