Today we came to London for a caching day, our plan was to tackle the Greenwich area and grab a couple of specific caches in North London before hand. It was a great day out with a surprising amount of wildlife from parrots to foxes and a lot of caches! In total we walked 23km over the day. Thank you to all the COs who have placed these excellent caches for us to find.
First one after getting off the train, headed down here on our way to the river and soon found the cache after admiring the view from the bridge. TFTC

Cache found as per hint. A bit disconcerting, but fun, signing the log on this shakey bridge. Thanks.
Ohhh, I love how the bridge shakes when a bus goes over. I’m surprised the cache is still here. Thanks!
#3113 Last cache of the day and I really feel like I have done a full marathon today! The cache was pretty easy and quick to find, but the logbook is full. I added a small piece of paper but it will need maintenance. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!
Around this way today so found this one as passing. Log signed and replaced as found. The first of the marathon series for me! Thanks RamsPadge
In London for the tennis finals yesterday and now exploring and geocaching before our bus takes us back to Wiltshire at 7pm tonight. We walked 7.5 miles on a very wiggly route between Greenwich and Canada Water and collected 17 caches.
This was the 2nd and found after a short search. The log was full but we squeezed in 18/11MNB. TFTC

After a run of soggy weekends, I headed to London with James (Pfaffabouters) and Ash (Monki) to attempt another batch of caches between Greenwich, Whitechapel and Westminster.
Caches were found without issue unless indicated and signed BDMP (or some combination of those letters) to save space.
Having circuited Greenwich, we're now starting our walk across to Tower bridge to head for Whitechapel
A quick find here.

Time once again to pop down to London to clear up a few earth caches and wherigos - love the trips we have had over the years, the routes we walk are always very similar but every time we manage to find something new and some hidden gems. With all of the Christmas lights being on the camera was going to get a proper workout after nightfall.
Having taken the tube and DLR from Stanmore to Greenwich another 20+ miles were notched up during the day on a very twisty walk back to Green Park. A smattering of dnf's were inevitable but spirits remained high as we stayed both dry and clean which makes a change to recent weeks.

With our visit to Greenwich complete we bagan our walk west picking off a few selected caches along the route.
Many thanks to RamsPadge for placing and maintaining this cache.

Heading to London for the day with BaggieDave and pfaffabouters.
Today we had a list of Labs, Earth, Traditional, Wherigo, Puzzle and multi caches to have a crack at.
A great day was had.
As always, in London, the caches were tricky due to satellite signal issues and muggles.

#34457 I am looking for the cache and my daughter looks to the ducks on the creek. So everyone is happy. Thank you for the cache.
The last cache find for me in Greenwich this afternoon before I headed back to central London to meet the rest of the shopping C.A.K.E.s. A nice quick find in the very first place I looked. Log signed and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the smiley.

Thanks for the cache. Looking forward to finding all of these over a few visits to London. Great series.
The logbook is almost full, nearly no space to sign the paper anymore. Nice to do it with my friends. Thanks for the cache lena.1006
A new short stay in LONDON to do some sightseeing and look for caches. This time, my goal was on the banks of the river Thames.
First day: from Victoria Station to the Tower of London.
Second day: from London Bridge to Greenwich.
I made beautiful discoveries but also failures and made some maintenance. I had brought some spare parts but not enough and especially not the right size. I signed DD / DAN and DANPEPS depending on logbook.
Thanks to the different owners for their works.

When I was new to geocaching I DNFd this one. 800 finds later it was no issue. Tftc
Couldnt get log out to sign and looked wet. Took photo as evidence of find. TFTC
We enjoyed tasty pie and mash from one of our favourite places to eat in London (Goddards) and on a full stomach we marched to grab this cache before heading off to Katherine's graduation ceremony. The coordinates were spot on and they quickly led me to the container. Many thanks RamsPadge for the hide. Find number 6 of 6 for the day. TFTC.
After I found nothing where my Garmin took me, I looked around for likely spots and found the cache about 22 metres away. A quick waypoint there had: N 51° 28.889 W 000° 00.984. TFTC RamsPadge.
