Geocache Description:

You guessed it - the ubiquitous magnetised 35mm film canister
containing only a log and pencil.


I was surprised to discover that this station has a claim to fame. "In 1951, Brimsdown railway station was used as the set for part of the Alexander Mackendrick film The Man in the White Suit, starring Alec Guinness (the station where Sidney Stratton tries to buy a ticket near the end of the film)" (Wikipedia entry citing the Internet Movie Database).

The nearby pub bears the name of Izaac Walton, The Compleat Angler, but I don't know if there's any relationship.

Congratulations to Ralavendrel for FTF.

Now in a slightly less busy area but stealth is still required during a tactile search. Please be careful not to drop it as retrieval will be difficult.
