SideTracked 2024 - 17th Anniversary Event
Every year in the UK, and around the world, SideTracked Events are held during the week around August 10th (SideTracked Day) to celebrate the placement of the first SideTracked cache in the series. This year is the 17th Anniversary of: GC15082 - The First Ever SideTracked - Evesham.
About This Event
From at least 12-1pm, we will meet to celebrate this auspicious occasion with geocaching banter and such. Food and drink are available. As always, no purchase is necessary to attend this event. We'll grab a couple of the picnic tables in the beer garden, weather permitting. Dogs are welcome on leash. Bring any travelers that need to be moved on, as a few cachers will be heading out on various trips.
The Sydney train station was a few blocks from here, on Dodd Street. Built in 1971, it was not a wonderful architectural sight. The Sydney station was a squat (mostly) brick box with an uninspiring interior. Passenger train service between Sydney and Truro ceased in 1990.
About SideTracked Caches
SideTracked caches are a popular series familiar to anyone that has been caching in the United Kingdom. SideTracked caches are intended to provide a quick cache n' dash at train stations. We don't have too many passenger trains here anymore, but in many cases we'll have an old train station, or the memory of one. This series allows us to look into our railroad history. More information can be found at the SideTracked Website.
