Dark place, but challenge completed.

Quite dark. TFTC

founud it:)

Replaced log.

Found thanks to team work. Today was a great day for geocaching, nice weather, nice place, GPS adding some suspense but finakky working,... We could grab it since the many many mugglers were on their way and didnt pay attention to the smallest member of the team.
We enjoyed the walk through the Westmister area andbthe cache.
Greetings from Spain

Sometimes crowd helps to cover geoactivity. So i found it not as difficult to find today but logbook is unfortunately full.

Bei einer London Tour mit der Familie gesucht und dank eines zufällig angetroffenen Geocachers gefunden.

Pekne umiestnená keš s výhladom na dominanty Londýna / Nice situated cache with a beautiful view to dominants of London. TFTC from Slovakia

Heute mal ein Tag in London auf Tour. Neben vielen Programmpunkte gehörte Cachen auch dazu. Dabei das kleine Döschen gefunden. Durch die hohen Häuser sprang das GPS Signal wild hin und her. Aber mit etwas Geduld wurde er doch gefunden. T4TC

Quick cache found in the morning before a meeting! TFTC!

Too many muggles to search fully

There were a few muggles around, but I couldn't see any flat plate attached to the railings.

We are visiting London for a couple of days. Of course we are going to search for a couple of caches together with team Geogritty. We prepared a number of caches at home. This cache we found after some searching.

Dorsetgal & GeoDog thanks for this cache

It was dark when I arrive here, but with a good hint I soon found it.

Thank for placing it.

Dorsetgal & GeoDog thanks for this cache

Driquette found it easily, even it was dark at that time !

We spend four wonderful days here in London !
Two friends were initiated to Geocaching and have loved it !
We looked for geocaches while travelling across London.

Greetings from France !

Merci Dorsetgal & GeoDog pour cette cache !

Tripp to London and found 2x caches

Daughter found this one too! Arghhh. ..she's too good at 5 yrs old! TFTC!

Greetings from Austraia! Found after spending some time admiring the nearby Houses of Parliament, though not without incident. The hint send me looking for something quite different to what I needed to find, but found in the end regardless. TFTC Dorsetgal & GeoDog!

Buscat i Trobat!
Al costat parada de bus

Yay! Found it!

Found with Esk, TFTC

Am Abend waren hier wesentlich weniger Menschen als am Tag, somit konnten wir hier ungestört suchen und loggen. Das Logbuch ist voll, aber wir haben ein Foto gemacht. Dieses können wir gerne als Logbeweis an den Owner schicken.

Quick find after London Eye
Thanks!

For our day trip to London I planned to also find a number of caches near the tourist attractions.

Over here people were trying to sell us a bus trip, but then they noticed our GPSr... "geocaching ?" So they left us alone to find other customers, so we had sometime to tie our shoelaces. I was a bit fooled by the spoiler picture since it was not positioned the same way as on GZ. But it was the only one there so I still found it very fast. I wrote my name over other cachers name since the small log paper was full.

ZU Besuch in London TFTC

Busy going through my GSAK database and updating caches I haven't sent a log for. Have been using GSAK to keep tabs on my finds. Thanks to the cache owners for the caches. Working my way through those caches that require emails with answers.

Lucky I read the page as I approached! Got to GZ on a Saturday afternoon and there were literally THOUSANDS of muggles around as to be expected. Went for a short wander and spotted what the clue cleverly refers to and gave a smile, quite well done. All was in order and the placement well enough away from the flow of muggles to make retrieval not overly difficult despite the hoards. Cheers from Australia, off to my birthday dinner with my sister!

Found the bag but the log was missing. Will check with cache owner if this was the spot. Left a new piece of paper in the bag for next finders.

Fun times with some friends from Belfast!

I suspect the cache is still there but probably has been pushed too far back - previously small children or retrieval implements have solved this problem - so you may need to go prepared.

There does seem to be a correlation between people, despite my pleas, leaving TRACKABLES here and the cache becoming unreachable.

Please do not leave trackables here as they do go missing!

Thanks for the TB-friendly cache. Dropped off the Northwest PA geocoin which I picked up in NZ.

For the record, this is NOT a TB friendly cache, in fact it is very unsafe for TBs and coins, please DO NOT leave TBs or coins here.

Looks like it may be missing again, I'll be able to attend to it in a few days.

Wondering if the hide has become compromised as it normally lasts longer than this!

Unfortunately, Mudshake has not responded to my request for where he/ she left the cache.

Although, I sense they thought it was muggled cos there was no container - hello - the cache page says, no container!

I will be in the vicinity next week and will check again. According to the log on April 2 it may well be there.

Feel free to search in the meantime,

See below

TEMPORARY LOG?

CARRIER BAG?

*rolls eyes*

Disabling until I can get there to sort it out.

Please do not log a find on this cache unless you have reached in, collected the original log and signed it, anything else is just a false log.

Great cache saw it from afar just as a group of muggles started to set up a stall right next to it! waited until they were distracted by a group of gorgeous leggy student types then I was in there and away to sign it. A similar technique and it was back safe and sound! ty x

Quick find with help from the clue and the caching thinking cap!! TFTH

Soooooo many muggles around today, thankfully there were three of us so two could shield the scribe Nice little hide, signed log at 13:00 - popular cache today.

[After reading cache info about the placement, we went down to try our luck to rescue it. But after several twigs, an allen key, and a bent paperclip later we were unable to get it. Smaller hands would most certainly be able to reach it with an impliment. But for now at least, this seems not to be happening

Note for anyone who wants to attempt to rescue it (spoiler included in description):]

Using tools, we pushed it to the left side of the wall under the 'U' in Country, so if you put your hand in the left most grill you can feel the plastic bag at the bottom of the hole.

As geocachers seem incapable of reading the logs, or taking a tool with them and keep reporting for maintenance (when actually the cache is there) I'm disabling this cache until further notice.

If however, someone takes a tool or small child to retrieve the cache then of course they are welcome to log the cache!

Amazing how someone who has not logged a dnf nor checked with me the cache owner can assume the cache not to be there!

I am informed by a previous finder that the cache is in situ but a little further back in the hidey hole.

This is most likely due to a previous finder placing it too far back.

A person with thin arms / hands or an implement should be able to retrieve it.

When I was there 10 days ago, I witnessed a previously "missing" cache retrieval by a young lad.

Haven't been able to get near the cache much in the past 3 days despite passing it daily due to security. Got moved on once with my trusty coathanger!

Was passing early this evening and saw a family looking right in the correct spot - confirmed them as geocachers, nice to meet you GusHoneybun!

Junior was very good and retrieved the original cache and the temporary replacement but no sign of the travel bug or geocoin though.

Please cachers, be very careful replacing the cache, don't push it back too far or you'll spoil the game for others.

Game on, good luck!

Returned after dark with Kaz plus coathanger and easy reach to try and recover the geocoin and travel bug. Can feel something down the back but cannot grab it - maybe I should have taken GusHoneybuns offer of leaving Junior at the cache site!

Sadly, I think they are lost forever.

So PLEASE DO NOT leave travel bugs / coins in this cache - they will get lost!

Sorry to read of a DNF - I will check it on the 30th and if it is absent, get it back in action

Visiting the Houses of Parliament..of course this one needed to be found
Thanks..greetings from The Netherlands

On a trip up to London with one of The Two Bears who advised the cache had gone missing on their last visit ..... it was in place on this one though! TFTC

In the light of the latest log, I have no option but to disable the cache.

It will be out of action until at least the end of the year now I am afraid, I just serviced it this week and left enough log sheets for the Christmas holidays.

Feel free to look for it, and if anyone feels brave enough to go with a wire coathanger and try a retrieve, be my guest! I have done so successfully in the past!

Apologies to the owners of any TBs or coins in the cache.

Found after a ride on the London Eye. Tried another nearby cache with no luck but then attempted this one and found fairly Quickly. TFTC

2430 - Another find on an overseas work trip...

With a day in London before heading home I did quite a long walk around this general area. Got to GZ and looked for the clue. When it hit me all I could think was "bold hide" - Nice !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers from Australia !!
