#18575 - 11:15:00 AM; Day 37 of the European Road Trip and today we plan to take our time and go wandering around London. First stop today was the webcam in Abbey Road and then some more caches in the area, before heading to Baker Street for this cache and on to Regent's Park for some adventure labs. Gathered the required information and email sent, resulting in a quick reply. Greetings from Australia and TFTV brumilhaag Smile

In London for a few days before heading home, and today was day for finding a few virtuals.

This one was a fun to complete and with a touch of 'history'. Certainly glad I took the walk from Camden Road...

Thanks brumilhaag….fav point for sure.

This cache is only a short walk from the office, but I have been so busy I havent had chance to visit it until now.

I wandered to the two locations and found the information pretty quickly and then got the information for the nearby multi. The sending of the email with the automated response is a great idea and reminded me of some of the really old multi-stage caches in London.

Thanks to brumilhaag for placing and maintaining this cache.

Discover my ‘missing’ TB … GSJGNP … It went missing in the first cache I placed it in so I am now sharing!

Natürlich mussten wir uns auf den Spuren von Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson begeben und die Örtlichkeiten aufsuchen und entsprechend erkunden. Gerne würden wir uns auch einmal auf eine entsprechende Zeitreise begeben.

Haben an einem der beiden aufgesuchten locations auch ein kleines blaues Schleifchen versteckt - das Auffinden sollte aber für das Detektiv-Gespann kein Problem darstellen.

Found with TheGeneral1812 while visiting on vacation from Ontario, Canada!

I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan since I was 10 years old. I attended a book fair at my school and purchased a paperback copy of "The Hound of the Baskervilles". After that, the hook was set, and I have read all of the stories. I grew up watching Jeremy Brett portray the sleuth on television. When Thegeneral1812 was 10, we watched the "Sherlock" series, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. TheGeneral1812 loved it, and I passed on to him my well-worn copy of "The Hound of the Baskervilles". I had to smile when Thegeneral1812 picked "221b" as his 4-chatacter password for his tablet.

I've often thought of the Sherlock Holmes quote while searching for geocaches: "I have trained myself to notice what I see". I think Sherlock himself would've enjoyed geocaching, had GPS technology existed in his time.

It was very exciting to visit 221 B Baker Street, and to log an increasingly rare virtual cache at the same time. TFTC!

A day out in London for BaggieDave, Monki and myself today as it is a few months since we were down this way and there is a new batch of earth caches that Dave wanted to investigate.

Dave planned a route that would also include a couple of virtuals and some lab caches. He had quite confidently announced that the walk would be around 16 miles - but he has a habit of being wrong when it comes to distance.

We had a fantastic day and after 11 hours of pounding the pavements we cut the plan short and headed off for a bite to eat. At this point we had covered well over 20 miles according to the gps tracking, with a good three to four miles still to do Dave's estimate had been around 50% correct, and he wonders why we never listen to him.

Physical logs singed MPBD and any required answers have been emailed by Dave on behalf of us all.

Absolutely heaving around here with all of the visitors to the wax works. Been a while since I have had to do an email for approval - such a neat idea and you know instantly if you got things correct.

Many thanks brumilhaag for another cache to hunt for.
Replaced as found.

Number 42 of 53 found on the adventure today.

It had been a while since we'd had a trip to London so me, Monki and Pfaffabouters set off at 5am for a wander across the capital.
Having started with a small circular walk round Rotherhithe, we are now heading to Vauxhall along the South Bank before coming back on the north side of the river.
Meandering around now, this was one of a number of caches we sought in this area..
We soon collected some likely looking information and got an instant confirmation from the email ping
Thanks for setting the cache and bringing us here..
BD.

I did this cache and two multi finals with ease this evening in the dark. This is my fifties virtual which is cool. I am glad to have this one logged, even though (dare I say it), I'm not really a fan of the TV series. Tftc
