Took a while to find the correct house and plaque but the hint helped.

Not many virtuals where I come from so I always try to grab a few when I'm in London. Confused by the coordinates being nowhere near where the info was to be found but soon got there. TFTC!

Visiting London for a couple of weeks and headed out and about to grab a few virtual caches today. Walk down to GZ and then a little further to find the required answers. Interesting topic and I had no idea this was what the virtual was about.

E-mail sent to the CO...and thanks for the virtual. Fav point for the fun.

Found this one befroe going for a short visit to the British Museum. Only so much time in the day - got some caches to find!

goodness me what a lot of blue plaques in this area. after wandering around reading lots of them had a peek at the hint and soon found the one we needed. tftc

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." />

We had a nice walk in this district

A Big thanks to the cache Owner for his/her effort to contribute to the Caching community by hiding this cache.

Found on a hastily arranged trip to London to pick up a few caches I have been wanting to do for a long time but never been in the right part of London and also to find some of the book seats dotted round the City before they disappear.

Brilliant day and enjoyed this cache. Thanks for setting it for us to enjoy.

Una vez confirmadas las respuestas, procedo a loguearlo.

Un saludo.

Und noch ein interessanter virtueller Cache! Und hätte ich den Hint gelesen, hätte ich wahrscheinlich deutlich kürzer gesucht, aber auch nicht so viel Interessantes entdeckt. Bei der Umrundung des Blocks habe ich so ein tolles Kunstwerk in einer Seitenstraße entdeckt, das mir einen echten Überraschungseffekt beschert hat und somit irgendwie zu meinen ganz persönlichen unerwarteten London-Highlights dieser Kurzreise zählt... Danke für das Zeigen einer interessanten Gegend abseits der typsischen Touristenrouten!

Before looking at the hint I walked around the place - nice, but no exact answer to find. Just then, walking away, I found the person named on the wall and rememberd all the pains I had
TFTC!

I was visiting London today on a trip where I planned to collect my 8000th cache and several special, rare (and old) caches too. This looked like one of the trickier virtual caches - not necessarily for the first part (for which there are some hints on the cache page) but for the second part which from the information you're given, could refer to anything! Having visited the area today, I had a good look all along the road and luckily came up with a possibility for the answer. Back home, I sent both answers to the CO but there was a delay in me receiving permission to log. Therefore this cache is not being logged in the order I found it (but it does have the correct date). TFTVC.

Found on my last night in London. A very interesting cache with very interesting surrounds! Thank you for the cache, from Australia email incoming!

Found it after arriving in London for a summer school... TFTC

A great day visiting London bring to us some geocaching to
We loved all the caches that we found in all the strange and beautiful places

The best Regards from Portugal !!!

At first we search the in the wrong direction, but then we do the right thing.

Went by this one on the way to the museum this morning. I always liked this little square as it breaks up the houses on the walk in. The information was soon in hand at GZ. Interesting piece of history. Thanks for keeping this virtual alive! Greetings from New Zealand!

During our stay in London this one was very close to our Hotel. After a day of sightseeing we decided to try and find the answers to this one. Unfortunately we didn't walk far enough to have both answers right the first time. But with a little hint we are now able to log a found it. Nice place really enjoyed reading al the plaques. (or most of them anyway)

I'm now able to post this log after being given the thumbs up from the CO. I decided to tackle this one after meeting up with a friend in the British Museum, before making my way back to Paddington. I don't usually do virtual caches, but I really enjoyed tracking down the information and looking at all the other plaques - those houses certainly produced some talent! I'm also very grateful to the people who form the subjects of the two clues! Thanks for a lovely walk in an interesting area, and for the history lesson! TFTC

Nice walk around Bloomsbury.

Found while walking to Kings Cross Station
Oddly enough my father in law used to work at the building in question.
I quite liked looking at all the blue plaques that were almost everywhere, not sure I had heard of most of these people though.

Thanks for setting up the cache

Done this one after visiting the British Museum. I did do a wander around Bedford Square, before doing a little more reading and realising I needed to be a little further along.

Did enjoy all the history plaques!

Found while on a visit to UK.

This cache took longer than expected, as I hadn't realised that there was a hint. So I was walking round, and round, extending my search area. The first location was then finally found, however I looked at the wrong building for the second location, and ended up walking around the whole block. Found eventually though. Thanks for leading me to this area, I would not have seen this part of London otherwise. TFTC, and G'Day from Australia!

I enjoyed the walk along here admiring all the blue plaques while I left my wife in the museum for a long stay. Gathered all the information and now that confirmation has been received, I submit my log.
Thanks gorka for this and the cache, most interesting.

We were in London again on the weekend and thought we could try this cache again. Last July we tried it and only got the first question correct.
The lady waiting at the bus sotp thought it rather strange that we were photographic little blue plaques.
Thanks for a great cache.
Email sent

12:30 We are not sure if we had the correct ones here or not, did spot one of my distance relatives on one of blue signs. So that was nice to see . Email on the way hopefully we have the correct signs.

Nice place although we are very confused with the answer for this one so email is sent and I hope it is right.
Thanks

After an Email we discovered we were not 100% right so will have to come back again to redo.
Thanks Again - for the challenge

Had a few minutes spare on a Saturday afternoon, so headed for the nearest cache. Needed the clue to get into the right bit of street, but then found the appropriate locations without too much difficulty. TFTC.
