What are SideTracked, Little Quest, A Fine Pair, 'War Memorial', Village Hall and FYI Caches?.

[+DARKSIDEDAN]

There are several Geocaching series that are popular in the UK in addition to the Church Micro series. I know about the most popular are 'SideTracked' thanks to a well know local geocacher by the name of Goldenwattle, but what are Little Quest, A Fine Pair, 'War Memorial', Village Hall and FYI Caches?

I found this website that explains the Village Hall Series

I think I saw somewhere that a "Fine Pair" involved a location that had both a public telephone and a postbox. My suburb, Umina Beach, would qualify...

Is this where you are fined for placing geocaches on them?

Something like that. Maybe it needs a tree-climb cache in the palm tree between them.

A Fine Pair

 

Here's a "fine pair" I photographed in the UK. There was a cache there. I had no idea then this was part of a series. I imagine, as both of these get less use these days, that these "fine pair" caches might be becoming rarer.

Here is the SideTracked site:

https://www.sidetrackedseries.info/about.php

I notice more Australian SideTracked caches I want to find. Unfortunately, my travel is limited at present. A lot are being published in the North Island of NZ. When I can finally travel, I think there will be a trip to the NZ North Island .

I have two Sidetracked Caches, SideTracked - Canberra GC7HMHC & SideTracked - QueanbeyanGC7K10Z

The SideTracked caches continue along the train line to Sydney, with caches at, Bungendore, Tarago, Goulburn (2), Marulan, and several in the Southern Highlands. Still vacancies.

I'll have to have a closer look at those NZ sidetracked caches as I have a rail tour of NZ booked for next February - that is if NZ opens the doors before then.

Thanks Goldenwattle, I love the idea of the SideTracked caches. It brings a new element into the game.

So, can we expect more? Maybe Really SideTracked to Bombala (or as far as you can place caches)? Tram Sidetracked for the tram? Other places I can think of locally too. Needs to be stations, or where stations used to be.

(Yass is taken.)

If i find any locations I would love to have a  SideTracked Cache or two
