About SideTracked Caches

This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view. Its a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too.

Camberley is a town in Surrey, England, situated 31 miles (50 km) southwest of central London, in the corridor between the M3 and M4 motorways. The town lies close to the borders of both Hampshire and Berkshire; the boundaries intersect on the western edge of the town where all three counties converge. Camberley's suburbs include Crawley Hill, Heatherside, Yorktown, Old Dean and Frimley Road district. History A settlement which became known as Yorktown grew up around the gates of the Royal Military College at Sandhurst in the 19th century. The college was renamed in 1947 the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.[2] During the 19th century, Camberley grew in size. This was given added impetus with the arrival of the branch-line railway (the main-line passes through nearby Deepcut but there is no stop). Later, the Staff College was established to the east of the Academy, and a property speculator built the nearby Cambridge Hotel. The surrounding area became known as Cambridge Town, but was renamed "Camberley" in 1877 to avoid confusion with Cambridge in Cambridgeshire. Camberley was mentioned in the black-and-white film Lord of the Flies, loosely based on the William Golding novel. In this, the character Piggy correctly states that Camberley was formerly known as Cambridgetown,[3] but changed its name following confusion with the town of Cambridge. He claims that the new name consisted of three parts; "Cam" taken from the original name of Cambridgetown, "ber" taken from the name of a nearby river (in fact there is no such river), and "ley" because it is a common ending for English town names (as in neighbouring Frimley). One would imagine this reference came from the child actor who played Piggy himself, Hugh Edwards, who left Camberley Primary School - long since demolished to make way for a town centre redevelopment - to star in the film. Camberley grew to become the largest town in the area, and Yorktown is now regarded as part of Camberley. Camberley railway station is situated south of the town centre on the Ascot to Guildford line. It is connected to London Waterloo, Guildford and Ascot by South West Trains. Nearby Blackwater station (situated perpendicular to the A30 on the border of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire) on the North Downs Line has direct services to Reading, Gatwick Airport and, again, Guildford. The town is served by the following bus routes: ? First No.194 ? Arriva Nos. 35,34 ? Stagecoach Nos. 1,2,3 ? Dickinsons Travel Nos. 500,501 Camberley can be reached by the A30 and lies between Junction 3 and Junction 4 of the M3 motorway. There are two small airports nearby Farnborough Airfield at Farnborough and Blackbushe Airport near Yateley. Farnborough Airfield is well-known for its International Air Show. Heathrow is 30 km (19 miles) away. The A30 leaving Camberley to the north for Bagshot has the large roundabout on it called the Jolly Farmer.
