Prime Meridian Cache London, United Kingdom
By Master Mariner on 26-Aug-01. Waypoint GC18FF

Found on a quick trip to the Royal Observatory, heading back to Australia tomorrow. Plenty of squirrels collecting nuts for the winter. Lovely park and surrounds. TFTC.

Where else could it be? An easy find made easier by the fact no-one was around. Why? Because it was bucketing down. Only idiots cache on days like this.

A good walk after lunch over the rolling hills got us to GZ where Lizzie's nose did it again. It was a small cache so we had to take out the scandinavian barmaid carrying skullpots so that there was room to drop in Rally's Mini Firefly geocoin. It fitted nicely.

Found after 1 pm
Found easily after a visit to the Observatory
Nice spot and a clear view
Thanks for the Cache

Final cache found for the day, while wandering around Greenwich. I've wanted to visit here for ages - so mission accomplished. TNLNSL. Thank you for my last cache find in the UK.

A visit in the Greenwich Observatory is a must for an old sailor. Found it easy.

After we had visited the Royal Observatory we walked over to this cache that we found after some time searching.

Thanks!

Wonderful cache place. We visit this place closely before setting sun. Cache has been found easily.

Nice easy walk up the hill. Great day for caching!

Cache On!

Found the cache after a brief searching spell.

There was just too many parties camped around this one to attempt it. I'll need to wait till the weather is less sunny. Shame as this is the last one I have to get in the immediate vicinity.

A nice an easy find on our round of the park 7th of the day.TFTC

Nice to find a real cache at such an important spot. Not too busy when I was here, the courting couple weren't watching me! TNLN.
Thanks. Steve.

Used the co-ords posted by another finder, together with the clue to find this cache. It isn't a virtual, it is perhaps best described as a small offset cache.
Found it. Signed log.
We're on our honeymoon to Britain and Europe, from New Zealand. Enjoyed the park as there was heaps to see at the observatory.

Found by Mary & David from Australia at 1411. In Greenwich for the day to see the sights again and this time add in some caching. Found the unoccupied cache tree, but only had the description and one or two logs around June/July (when we left home) with us on a Palm m505, so had no hope of finding the John and Lisa micro. Our thanks to Hokies for confirming the find and adding some spice to our day.

Up in Greenwich for the day.

Went to look at the original location, then went to look for the replacement, which is easy to find when you (a) know the location and (b) read the clues in previous logs.

I'd agree that the quoted location was quite a bit out: I marked the actual location as N 51 28.587 W 001 00.202.

What a nice and quiet part of the park... just the place to sit & rest those weary feet for a little while!

Thanks to everyone involved in creating this cache and in keeping it alive!

We came byh here with every intention of replacing the cache, but discovered that we had left our replacement in the hotel in all of the confusion this morning. Sorry for my mistake, but thank you for giving me a reason to cross the line.

We went to the observatory first and took the free tour through, and were the last people let up to see the telescope. After that we went for a wander towards the waypoint and found a couple of suitable trees for hiding a cache. Pity it wasn't there - great location for GPS hunting Cheers Gav [113]
