Early after opening hour I was able to quickly reach the top and enjoy the beautiful view. I was turning in rounds in order to find the answers, but after a while I spotted them.
Thanks for a very nice cache!

dog’s little tracks were filled in within ten minutes of his morning stroll.
The snow is light and fluffy, and puffs away from my boot if I stamp my
foot. I’ll bet the alpine skiing today will be outstanding, especially if it keeps
on snowing. Nordic trekking will be great as well, whether on skis or snowshoes;
this last storm of the year should make outdoor enthusiasts very happy indeed. The
wind is going to pick up speed as the day wears on, so be extremely careful on your
way to and from festive events later tonight. Drive defensively, and if you plan on
celebrating with alcohol, use a designated driver or have your own party at home.
When I let the dog out at midnight, snow was gently falling and
there were three inches of soft fluff decorating the yard. Later the
wind came up into gale force gusts, and now the yard is bald as an
egg, with no trace of last night’s magical carpet. Fresh new snow adds
more bulk to wind-driven sheets of blown powder; when I stepped out-
side earlier I was too occupied with merely breathing in and out to pay much
attention to the view. The wind is straight out of the northwest, frigid and literally
breathtaking. A broad band of lake effect snow is just to the south of us; if it drifts
north only a couple of miles, we will be in the thick of it. I imagine that the snow
is sticking to the forest floor, and when the wind dies down the skiing should
be pretty good in sheltered spots. As it is now, there is too much debris
falling along with the snow to be safe in the woods. I wonder how
many wild critters get bonked on the head by branches and such
as they go about their business on a windy morn such as this?
Little dense snowballs falling from the sky are so small that they are
nearly invisible, but boy, howdy, I could feel their sandblasting sting when
I was outside earlier. Free dermabrasion, courtesy of Mother Nature. They
sit on the bare ground in the yard like a truckload of styrofoam beads has
been scattered, perfectly round and white against the frozen crushed shale." />

Definitely agree that it required effort to find - and not even good views to reward us! Still we made it with a certain dense of achievement. This was the 3rd of our CCC caches today and sadly we don't have time to finish as we have to meet the other half of EHD in Hendon in 20 minutes - hope they are running late too!

WOW ... I've been wanting to take on this cache for so long and today we headed into London with the intention of visiting the Monument.

With all of the Monkeys with us, Mrs_Fuller and I needed to take half the team at a time to ensure we could all meet the challenge Big Grin It certainty was a tougher than I expected, but Monkey2_Fuller, Monkey3_Fuller, Monkey5_Fuller and I (Mr_Fuller) made it. We seemed to have missed the required information on the first pass but found it after a couple of attempts. Mrs_Fuller, Monkey1_Fuller and Monkey4_Fuller also made it successfully after us. The children were all thrilled to receive a certificate to acknowledge their stair marathon Wink

Email sent, confirmation received, photos attached. Have a favourite from us Cool TFTC.

Have tried several times to get to the top but each time my vertigo has kicked in halfway so am hoping that on this occasion the CO will accept a picture on the stairs!

It's a Long way to the top if you wanna Rock'n Roll, is an old song of a famous Australian rock band, but it's also a long way to the top to log this cache.

And Done! Finally I have managed to (nearly) complete a Rodz Series Wink I now have all the info needed to grab the final... but wont be able to do it until May Sad I think I am going to have to go on a Rodz-a-thon and try to finish Sherlock, the Rainbow, WTF and if my brain works, The last 4 in the Alphabet.

This was probably my favourite of the CCC series. Got in just before close at 5pm and shot up and up and up and up until I reached the top and the answer. A few quick snaps then back down to continue fixing Munzopoly Munzees Wink

Cheers Mate!

On holiday from Perth, Western Australia. This was one of the hardest caches I've done for a while, and I dare say I was a little disappointed as the view from Saint Paul's overshadows the one here. Nevertheless, I'm a fan of tower views and this was still fun! TFTC!

Came up to this from the Canary/Swan cache and came smack bang across the correct plaque without having needed to search at all - if only they all came this easily! Thanks found the tour and history lesson - very interesting.

In London on business, but with the GPS back in Australia had to rely on clues via SMS from home!! Hope I've got this one right ... it's a long way back to doublecheck. Thanks for giving me a different perspective of this part of town.
