About SideTracked caches

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

This cache is not located at a station but at a pedestrian only crossing between Southbourne & Nutbourne stations. 

No bikes are allowed on this and other footpaths in the area. Access to this cache is on foot only. Access to this cache from the south should be via Patricia Way &/or Brook Close housing development opposite the recommended parking location and not via the foot path through the grounds of Nutkin Barn.

If approaching from the north the path to the cache can get quite muddy after wet weather and as such walking boots are recommended. Utmost care must be taken crossing the main railway line and all warning notices must be strictly adhered to.

PLEASE KEEP CHILDREN AND ANIMALS UNDER CLOSE CONTROL NEAR GZ. THIS IS A MAINLINE RAIL TRACK WITH TRAINS REGULARLY PASSING AT HIGH SPEED. OBEY ALL OFFICIAL POSTED SIGNS. 

Neither Geocaching.com nor the cache owner accepts any responsibility for any injury caused by not obeying these posted warnings signs

 

The rail line connects Portsmouth to Chichester, Worthing, Brighton, Gatwick AirportEast Croyden & London Victoria along with other stations east along the south coast
Westbound connections are Havant, all Portsmouth Stations, Cosham and Southampton. 

The cache is not placed on railway property and no fences need to be crossed to access GZ.
