SideTracked Series Turns 18

This year marks the 18th anniversary of the SideTracked Series, and they are doing things a little differently.  Unlike previous years, they won’t be hosting a week-long celebration. Instead, they will focus their anniversary events on a single day: Sunday, 10th August. Why? This year also marks a once-in-a-generation milestone: the 200th anniversary of the modern railway in the UK.

On 27th September 1825, the Stockton & Darlington Railway officially opened, becoming the first public railway in the world to operate steam locomotives and carry both passengers and goods. This revolutionary achievement connected people, powered the Industrial Revolution, and ultimately changed the world.

To honour this historic event, a nationwide initiative Railway 200 is underway, with events, exhibitions, and celebrations taking place across the country. A special week-long SideTracked celebration is planned for September.

Join the SideTracked 18th anniversary celebrations by:

  • Publishing new SideTracked caches on 10th August
  • Finding a SideTracked cache or more on 10th August
  • Hosting one (or more!) SideTracked geocaching events
  • Sharing your stories and photos from your SideTracked adventures using the hashtag #SideTrackedSeries

Full event details, including naming conventions, are available on our website: https://sidetrackedseries.info/events.php
