Leeds Urban EarthCache - Corn Exchange Lovell Park, Yorkshire, United Kingdom
By matthewgibbs on 18-Feb-18. Waypoint GC7JFEH

In Leeds for the cricket (but we won't talk about the result - but well done) and with a spare day I headed out to try a few earthcaches. This one was towards the end of my walk, however what a great building it is. Sat in shaded area near the restaurants and worked on my answers. A bit of reading back in my hotel and the answers have sent to the CO...hopefully all is good.

Thanks matthewgibbs for showing me the area. Certainly glad I came this far down to see it. Fav point added.

Thanks Mathew for another Earthcache in Leeds

Trying to complete a few earthcaches and also get the nearby webcam and virtual while spending the day in Leeds. Answers sent to CO TFTEC

Sent CO my answers. In Leeds today with some friends and while wandering around they took us to Corn Exchange. This is an amazing building and was genuinely surprised inside with the scale of it and in particular the very cool dome. This was my first Earth Cache and it was very interesting finding out some more about the architecture of the building and how the materials came about. Many thanks!

I used to visit the Corn Exchange regularly 20 years ago when I was student in Leeds. I really miss all the cool shops that used to be there like Grin and Hippy Potter Mouse, but at least my favourite - the wonderful Travelling Man - is still flourishing nearby.

It's still a pleasure though to visit this fantastic building, and with geocaching you're always learning something new; I'd never before realised how the ceiling was designed to give even daylight - rather than direct sunlight - all year round; so ingenious!

Anyway, stonework all inspected and answers since messaged to the CO who's given me the thumbs up. Many thanks for creating this excellent earthcache.

During our short stay in Leeds, [@Skaldarnar](http://coord.info/PRRP7R6) and I at least managed to get this cache - luckily our AirBnB was just around the corner ^^' So we took a closer look at the Corn Exchange just before leaving for Manchester.

Thanks for the cache!

Looks like the building is going nowhere. Fine structure. No corn seen today. Answers submitted to the CO.

Easter 2020 sees South Australia hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Check it out. We would love to see you there.

We know this superb building from a couple of previous visits so it was good to come back here for an Earthcache. My Born and Bred in Yorkshire cushion came from the Yorkshire shop inside. TFTEC. First pint in Leeds was Kirkstall Pale ale in Friends of Ham, an exceptionally nice café bar. The chorizo and cheddar toasted sourdough is so good I had it the following day too!

It was only a short stay in Leeds, but we got at least one cache logged here. We also got to learn something about the Corn Exchange (-:

Dipping visiting Trackable

Message sent with answers - it's rather a belated log of this earth cache, so I hope I made enough notes during my visit to enable me to still get them correct.

I was on a business trip to Castleford. Because of train times from Edinburgh, I had to head down the afternoon before. I managed to persuade my colleague that we would be much better off staying in Leeds overnight - and as he was having to come down on a later train, he didn't argue.
So it meant I had a few hours in the evening to go caching. I was very surprised at the number of earth caches around here - each one giving such a different experience of the rocks and fossils that make up the city.

Thanks for bringing me to this location.

Find 19 of 28 today while on tour with South Derbyshire Geocaching. Logs were variously signed SDG or stamped, depending on space.

Definitely feeling the love for Earthcaches today. This is one of around 10 we took in on our Leeds tour today. A nice easy Earthcache at another fascinating building. I've not really been out in Leeds before, but I have to admit that I was quite taken with the architecture - it's a beautiful city!

SL - TFTC!

Out with the South Derbyshire Geocaching gang for a tour to Leeds today. A very small and select group comprising of Collie Wobbles, Chramm, A1nnie and Metronauts departed from Burton at 07:30am and arrived at 09:00 at Leeds Station raring to go. We managed a whole host of different cache types today including an event, traditional, multi, virtual, earthcache, webcam and puzzle. There were a few pubs involved which is unusual for us on a tour, but a thoroughly good time was had by all.

All logs were stamped or signed with SDG to save space and any required answers will be submitted by one of the team on behalf of the whole group.

What a beautiful building. We'd seen it in the distance so pleased that the earthcache brought us here.

Found the answers whilst on tour with South Derbyshire Group. Answers submitted to CO. Thanks for a great earthcache. We are really enjoying doing these on this glorious sunny day. I loved this building.

What an impressive building! Answers submitted by the team leader.

Loved this. Made me look in more detail at a beautiful building.

Down from Scotland visiting family in my home town. I remember when the Corn Exchange hosted the national budgie championship every year. It is still a magnificent building. All answers submitted to the CO, hopefully correct.

In Leeds for a few days for work. Just time during lunch today to nip across the road to this magnificent building which is even better from the inside. The retail outlets are also not to be missed. I then proceeded to walk around the building feeling the rocks and taking photos. Answers to questions emailed to CO and photo attached. Thanks for placing!

Logging as found having visited The Corn Exchange and sending our combined answers to the CO which we hope are acceptable. Very impressive building, like many here in Leeds. Many thanks,
Staying in Leeds as Stockport Freebird volunteers for the triathlon this weekend, with time to find caches as well.

Great cache, very interesting. We will email our answers later today. TFTC
