Geocache Description:


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 on the SideTracked Series website at www.sidetrackedseries.info https://www.sidetrackedseries.info

The  3rd of the Northcliffe Nonsense series. Parking is in waypoints.

The cache will take you to the railway, which runs every Sunday and for certain events. Please do not attempt this if there is an event going on. The cache only contains a logbook and some intructions so you will need to bring your own pen.

Please note that although cycling is permitted in the meadows/park it is forbidden in the woods.

You will not need to remove the cache from the thing it is in you just need to remove the lid

No spoiler pics or notes in logs please

The Norman Rae Gala is held annually in the park in either June or July. The event has many rides, stalls and artists performing in the fields and also in the woodland.

Bradford Model Engineering Society operate two railway tracks in the woodland area of the park. The gauges vary between 3.25 inches (83 mm) and 5 inches (130 mm) on a raised oval track that runs for 440 feet (130 m) and a larger loop that runs on the ground for 2,000 feet (610 m) and takes trains of 5-inch (130 mm) and 7.25-inch (184 mm) gauges. The society is one of the oldest model engineering societies in Britain (founded in 1908) and operates the railways in summer for passengers weather permitting. The society refer to, and label their railway, as Northcliff Railway using one of the older spellings of the name. 

This cache is more about the location than the actual cache. If you get a chance, try exploring or walking along the train track. Its quite nice (unless if theres a train running!) You may want to come when the train is running and maybe enjoy the event.

Enjoy!smiley
