SideTracked - Darlington Traditional Geocache

This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view. Its a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. More Information can be found at the SideTracked Website.

A level of stealth will be required as this location is very busy at times, especially after trains arrive. The cache contains only a log so please bring a writing implement.
