#18531 - 2:41:00 PM; Day 34 of the European Road Trip and enjoying our first full day in London. Plenty of sightseeing planned for today including a visit to St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. After visiting the Cathedral, I managed a close up snap with the giraffes that I needed for this cache. I do wonder how long the construction will take though? TFTV The Wombles

Interesting place - especially for geocachers.
Thank you for this virtual cache.

A nice bit of history I otherwise wouldn't have known. Thanks for bringing me here.

Wohooo another find. Here because of an event last night and had some time before my train to do some caching. Loved this historic cache. TFTC

Found while caching around London for the day. Visiting from Canada. TFTC

Nitribbean and I were checking out the City of London and grabbing a few caches.

Checking out the city of London. A very neat portion of the town. Tftc

I'm going to sound so knowledgeable when my friends visit next month, and I point out all these "hidden" bits of history!
Thanks for the cache, email to follow

After walkimg 12 miles yesterday, and another 12 today, in the rain with leaky shoes, I was in need of cheering up... Another nice surprise with an unexpected landmark here, thanks

A long planned caching day in London with Panda Driver. Braving the cold wind we nipped along to this location, identified the information (sent to the CO) then found a coffee bar. Tftc.

This was our second virtual today; aiming for 4 virtuals in 24 hours so I can claim a challenge cache. thanks to The Wombles for setting this virtual.

In the old smoke today to attend a CITO and decided to head out and get a few older cachers. Perhaps i should have done a little research as alot of the dates I've already got.

Details have been emailed as requested

Talking of old I been to this building - well the hot desk part on the ground floor, next to the canteen - many years ago with a past job. Thankfully it is in the past!!!

I was out and about in the rain today, trying to find different cache types. Enjoyed learning about this. Thank you very much for bringing me here.

Spending the Leap Day in London seeking out a variety of interesting caches, of which this was one. Answer has been sent to the CO. Thank you for an informative virtual cache.

Our geocaching week started once again around Frankfurt ...
On Sunday morning we flew from Berlin-Tegel to start a week full of adventure
We did not only pay by euros and British pounds but also by favourite points ... and that despite I only have so few of them left ... it is time to stock them up by a powertrail
On Monday evening we continued to London-Stansted and from there headed south to Stonehenge, before we strolled around London for about two days. On Friday (veeeeery early in the morning) we took a flight to Cologne, where we had planned to visit the mega event in Bonn on Saturday. Of course a few special treasures were visited before we had to leave on
Sunday morning, with reams of earworms, back to Berlin. Well, but after one trip is before the next and so while logging online, I will once again reminisce about this brilliant week. I am really looking forward to the next adventure... The world is my playground

About the cache:
Luckily we did not need to search long for the plague, so we almost looked like muggles
KleinaGangsta sent our answer to the CO.

Many thanks to all cacheowners for this great week, the unique places you showed us and best regards from Berlin from

First of all I would like to thank all owners of virtual and earth caches, who reacted so quickly and kindly to our answers and confirmed their log permission.

We landed in STN this evening, took our rental car and drove towards the mystical stone circle. To Salisbury.

The next morning things got up early because many miles and interesting caches were planned.

First we visited a virtual "Salisbury Cathedral" with the Walking Madonna.

Then it went to Stonehenge.
We parked at the visitor parking lot and walked around 2km to the stones.
It was an impressive sight.

Then we drove over Woodhenge to The Sun Gap Cache and then east to Ultimate Treasure Seeker.
After a very muddy strenuous climb, we were rewarded with a closed rainbow.
I will print out this photo and hang it on the wall.
Madness! Thanks TurnerTribe.

The handpicked caches led us further south.
"In the Footsteps of Edward Thomas" - was our next goal. Here, too, came a friendly confirmation from the owner.

Now it was a little longer to get there. It went to
Halnaker Windmill.

After that it was hello Ärmelkanal!!
We visited one
Ridder Tiuri earth cache at sunset and almost complete low tide.
There was a lot to discover here.
Thank you my dear for the friendly communication.

In the dark we drove to another very exciting virtual cache: "Rock Faces" by Moody from trapps.
A place with soul.
I felt something here.
It was mystical.

We visited the webcam in the same place near the Skinner's School.

Afterwards it was time for the evening and off to the accommodation.

The next morning we went to the
Royal Observatory Greenwich Cache.

From now on we left our rental car in the garage of our accommodation and went a lot on foot and also by bus and subway. the next destinations were the British library, platform 9¾ and also the most famous zebra crossing in the world. it went on to Paddington and further into the city center to Trafalgar Square and also to Harry Potter's Diagon Alley.

Day 3:

day three started on this beautiful "island" and after the bus we ran many miles through London City. museum of london, golden gallery, st. Paul cathedral, Millenium Bridge, borogugh Market, London bridge, tower bridge, tower of London, let a squirrel bite me at GC7B7J1, we were high up in the sky garden, Monument of the great fire, and on a T4.5 = Under the boardwalk.


About this cache:

the rain slowly subsided and it became much brighter and friendlier. the next task awaited us here. It was necessary to read off the required information on a plaque on the wall and pass it on to the owner. done, done!



it is not enough just to be a fox, you also have to know about the forest


Danke für die Mühe und viele Grüße aus [ BERLIN]( https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5H1FF_gangstas-paradies-genusscacher-challenge?guid=7110fb03-c9dc-4167-8eae-c6f076f689b4) /Adlershof

I visited London this week for the great football game between Chelsea and Munich. What a match ?
In the two days at London I had have enough time for log some geocaches. The TechnOLOGY (Central London) was one of them.
Many thanks for showing this place, Greetings from Munich

Venus à Londres pour la visite des studios Harry Potter, aujourd'hui c'est visite express de la ville, pass métro en poche ! Au passage, nous en profitons pour faire quelques caches virtuelles quand nous passons à côté, comme celle-ci.
Nous voulions voir le pont, mais le nom de la cache MMMonument nous a induits en erreur car nous sommes descendus à l'arrêt Monument du métro... Ça nous a permis de rallonger la balade en bord de Tamise.
Pour repartir vers un autre quartier (Picadilly Circus) nous remontons vers la station St Paul et en profitons pour découvrir la cathédrale et faire cette autre cache toute proche.
Merci pour la cache !

Thanks for the cache!

Answer sent to CO.

Love finding little slices of history like this in London

Found while walking around London. Thanks for highlighting this historic location!!

Found this one on an early mnorning walk from my hotel. Quite surprised by the signicance of the plaque. One of those enjoyable caching moments![^]

TFTC The Wombles

After visiting St Pauls and lunch near the courts, I had some spare time to grab a view caches around about.

This one has a bit of a personal interest, so was a must do.

CO confirmed find promptly - thanks.

TFTC the wobbles and greetings from Australia.

Very quick find which was nice as it was raining. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache... it was getting to the end of the day and after a day of dragging my mother around i decided this was to be the last of the day.

Found with portokeil during our 2 day strike over London!
Thanks for the cache and for feedback!

I walked past this 5 minutes before going to another cache but couldn't spot the plaque needed. On the way back to the tube station, I spotted the plaque, ran across the road, took a pic of it, and I was off again. Nice bit of info, thanks Wombles!

Found on my last day in London, while walking around trying a few virtuals. Arrived at the spot, grabbed the wording, sent an e-mail (later) and received an answer in the affirmative.

Thanks for the fun The Wombles...

Thanks for the interesting location, especially relevant to my profession.
Thanks from a visiting Australian.

Found it at 1800 today. Will email required info shortly. Tftc

Nice easy cache on the way to visit the One New Change development

Virtual caching in my lunchtime, this is such a good area, plenty to see. TFTC

1953 - Back in London with a free weekend.

I like these Virtuals - good fun. I use to walk past here all the time when I lived in London. Nice now to find a cache here !

Email sent and approval to log received.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers from Australia....

TFTC,

Made my day to get this one on my way to my meeting in Blackfriars, as I work for the company that is located 50 feet from the GZ. Dragged a work colleague whose getting interested in caching along after the meeting, to claim his second Virtual cache of the day.

A quick pic and off here as suggested, mail sent.
Thanks

Walked past here for years and never saw the plaque. Email sent tftc

Interesting history, like the cache name! TFTC

Spent a few days in London and also tried some caches on the way (including some DNFs which I did not record to log seperately...).
Found the plaque and sent the e-mail - fits perfectly! Thanks for showing!
Logtime: 1550.

I rose past GZ on this one in May, but there was a rowdy lot at GZ for some reason and I kept going. I think it was cold as well and I wanted to get home.
Either way, today I went past and it was still cold, but I stopped anyway and noted the required plaque info. Thanks Wombles for another virtual!

Finally found this one! Had to come here 3 times. My GPS had me walking around in circles on the wrong side of the road, turning up nothing. Answer confirmed by email, thanks for the cache.

Answer on its way to answer...

Nice and easy. Answer written down as quickly as possible.

An important piece of scientific history is recorded here. It's amazing to think of the developments since. Thanks to The Wombles for the cache.

We have had a fantastic Weekend geocaching in London. This was Number 9 today of 21. Found at 13:54. Thanks for the cache.

16:17 Quick find I actually work for this company, but have never been to this building. Thanks for the cache email on its way.

Did this one whilst on business for the day in London. Enjoyed the walk and seeing how the other half live! It's a lot less hectic in Devon!
Thanks for the cache, answer e-mailed.
The Hancock Clan

Found it quickly at a stormy, raining day in London.
Thanks for the high speed answer from the wombles.
(less then 10 minutes)

I was there on 9/18 from the USA. I stood across the street under my umbrella with my wife and looked and looked. I then crossed and it then became obvious. I sent the owner the information. Another couple walked up and started to read it so I asked if they were geocachers but they were not so I had to explain the whole thing..they thought it was all great stuff! Being a scientist, I really enjoyed the opportunity to find this one.Thanks

Number 6 of the day. Plaque obscured by removel van which deleyed me a little. TFTC.

#444. Interesting little piece of history! E-mail sent. Thanks for the cache!

Found by Mary & David from Australia at 1255. An interesting historical site - it has a loose connection with our own "Wireless" cache near home. Our thanks to The Wombles for showing it to us.

An easy find along the road from Last Delivery. This is the third such sign I have seen in the last ten days. He was a busy man!

Oddly enough, this cache has more than a small relevance to places closer to my home here in Canada, as well as to London! Email sent.

Cheers

Managed to spot this one as I was held in a queue of traffic. e-mail to follow.

Thanks. Fascinating thought. Not sure I managed to avoid the security cameras though.

Found it - on a wet & wintry day, a long way from home. Nothing like trying to find a virtual cache without a GPS, and relying on SMS messages from the other half in Australia!! Still, managed to find the answer ... hate to think what the phone bill will be though!
