You are most welcome to join me at the posted coordinates, (a bench,) not far from Jewellery Quarter station, for a geocaching event on Wednesday 24th June, from 1330 to 1400.
SideTracked event caches have gone, departed, left the station. Everyone is very sad, so, WaitingRoom Events have been initiated for the train buffs who like a meet up at a station.
All are invited to this WaitingRoom Event a few minutes walk from Jewellery Quarter station for chat about all things geocaching.
Agghhh, mate, cast yer line down by Jewellery Quarter station in Brum and you’ll find a right proper hidden gem, tucked along the steel-grey curves of them old railway tracks like a fat perch lurkin’ in the reeds. Born back in the steam days when the city’s jewellers hammered out their sparklin’ treasures in a thousand little workshops, the station still wears its Victorian brick like a proud old angler in his Sunday coat. Trains glide in and out, silver as mackerel, carryin’ folk past the Hockley lights and the ghost of a thousand anvils ringin’—all while the cut of the canal nearby whispers its slow, muddy secrets. Stand on that platform of a misty mornin’ and you can almost feel the whole quarter hookin’ you gentle, drawin’ you in with its quiet shine and its stories older than the river itself. Proper magic, it is.
