Geocache Description:


SideTracked -Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

The longest SideTracked cache name in the world!... Well, not quite...

When planning this cache, I thought it would be brilliant to hide the longest-named SideTracked cache in the series. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be… This isn’t even the longest-named train station in the world, the UK, or even in Wales. That honour goes to Rhoose Cardiff International Airport Railway Station (South Wales always has to go one better...). Officially, this station is just known as 'Llanfairpwll', but despite that little letdown, and in keeping with the quirky Victorian charm that made this place a tourist hotspot, Llanfairpwllgwungyllgogerychnawdrobwythllantysiliogogogoch is still a strong contender for the longest single-word train station name in the world — which, by default, would make this the longest single-word SideTracked cache name in the world! (However, that exceeds Geocaching's character limit, so 'Llanfairpwll' it is...)

 

Anyhow, the cache coordinates can be obtained from this page, and before anyone says it, no, Gorsafawddacha’itriaigodanheddogleddollônpymthegareurdraethceredigion doesn’t exist… and isn’t even a place!..........

 

The cache can be found at N 53° 13.XXX W 004° 12.XXX
