I had never used this tunnel before today. What a brilliant experience! Thanks for bringing me here. They were filming in the tunnel today by the rings so I had to count quite quickly as I walked through. Hope I got it right!

I enjoyed the walk through this piece of living history. It was eerily quiet down here after all the traffic noise at ground level. Answers sent. Thanks for the virtual

We were on our way from the Meridian Cache and the park home to Fulham and used this tunnel.
Nice Cache at an very unusual place.
In Team with Mietzi.

I visited this amazing tunnel today. This is my second visit; the other was many years ago. I still get a thrill walking through it. I sent in my answer. TFTC Simply Paul.

Found with Jarmi2. Thanks for the cache and a nice walk under the river.

The tasks we met with Sirasxxx, we had fun with it, my husband wrote the owner and I can now write the log. Thanks for the cache

TFTC! #967
while jogging around Isle of Dogs, I couldn't have missed this one

Greetings from Australia! wow that was awesome. Walking under the Thames. Out here for a short holiday and this was an unplanned side journey that I enjoyed immensely. Busy place actually very unexpected.

Thanks for placing this cache Simply Paul. Logging with Pride.

Easter weekend 2nd-6th April 2015 in Stanthorpe, QLD, Australia

First find of the day on our little visit to Greenwich. A few more caches, then off to see Avenue Q before it closes.
Thanks for the great Virtual Cache.

It it very interesting to walk under the Thames - especially when you realize how old the tunnel is. Somewhere you can see tiny leaks and nearer to the Greenwich side there are aslo stalaktites going down from ceeling Just wait for several years (centuries and it will be half human-half nature made cavern

Found during our trip in London. Today we decided to go to Greenwich. One of my friend do this cache a few years ago and he tell me to take that way to go ti greenwich.
He was right, it was very fun to cross under the Thames. We have a lot of fun in this tunnel.

After a lovely walk through Greenwich we took the tunnel to pass the Thames.
Great location and a perfect place for a virtual.

Thanks for the cache.

Great location!

Did the walk from South to North. This way one can get a feel of how wide Thames is.. Interesting location!
Thanks for creating this Virtual Cache!

What a great experience this was. Never knew about this tunnel. We enjoyed the walk and the view from the 'other side'.
Simply Paul, TFTC. Another favorite point added.
Greetings from the Netherlands.

During a short break for four days in the UK we visit Kent Mega event. On saturday was London sceduled and found a lot of interresting buildings and caches. Among the caches was this virtual and we enjoyed every minute of it.



Thanks to all CO's for let them show all of interesting places.
We've seen and learned a lot of London.



Thanx, Great4fun.

Found this with fitzy_1965 and AwesomeL during our European holidays...

Looking around Greenwich today. Loved the walk through the Tunnel ! fitzy_1965 sent the answer to the CO and permission to log has been received. Thanks !

Greetings from Australia

We walked from the south side and counted the rings. Ofcourse we went up on the north side for a look around. From the park we had a clear view to the appartment building we stay in.
This one was double fun. Not only a cache, but also a sonic wonder. (Sound Tourism)

8219 + 981 = 9200. Found with ACBC66 and AwesomeL during our European holiday…

Our last full day of the holiday and we spent most of the day at Greenwich. I have been here several times but this is the first time as a Cacher - so lots to do ! I targeted the 4 Virtuals and the Greenwich Gates Series. We caught the DLR to Island Gardens (glad it was running despite the Tube Strike) and walked through the tunnel - counting ! Sent to info to the CO and permission to log has been received.

Thanks Simply Paul ! I've been looking forward to doing this one for a few years ! A Favourite Point from Me !

TNLN – TFTC !!

Cheers from Australia….

After visiting Greenwich I though I'd take the DLR from the Island Gardens instead of the Cutty Sark, picking up this one along the way. Thanks a lot for leading me on this underwater tour of the Thames.

During our city trip to London we passed this special virtual cache.
Thank you for showing us these location. We enjoyed it.
We added a favorite point .

Our second day in Great Britain was occupied with visiting Greenwich. We had seen the royal observatory and the "Cutty Sark", walked three times up the hill to the observatory for the different caches we did and were close to get some sore feet. Being near the tunnel entrance we decided with our caching buddy Adsche that this virtual should be the last one for the day. So we got down with the elevator thus protecting Danis knees from overexertion. At the other side, but still down in the tunnel, we counted the needed thingies and noted the value for later use. Again we used the elevator to get to the daylight again. After some time looking around we went back to the other side through the tunnel again.

Thanks for leading us to this interesting place say


Dani, Pia and Erik.

Great location found at end of day in Greenwich, perfect excuse to go home via the foot tunnel thx

During a short Easter trip to London I visited this interesting place. It was very interesting to cross the Thames via this way. Email sent.
Thank you for this nice Cache!

We love historic places and this places gives an impression how it must have been with fewer bridges, no underground and boats that weren't as fast as the ThamesClipper.

TFTC!

I think without this cache we would have missed the experience of crossing the Thames river via the tunnel. It was somehow exciting for us

Many thanks!

Found on our Holiday in London

Noticed the tunnel a few days ago when I had breakfast in Greenwich on Sunday morning. So now I had an excuse to walk it. Not suprised there were no buskers in the tunnel - it's a bit cold. Thanks for the cache (and the excuse to walk under the Thames).

Found by Mary & David from Australia at 1210. Found the first bit of information then set off on the 'strange walk'. Mary didn't like that much, as there were a few areas of rust and dampness along the way. Quite relieved to get to the end. Had been here some years earlier, but the cache gave us renewed interest in the exhibits. Our thanks to Simply Paul for leading us along new pathways.

During our visit to London we made a trip to Greenwich, too. Ofcourse we did some cachers there. Sub-Aqua was on of them.

Greetings from Vienna / Austria!

Sadly, the lifts were both not working.... so that was FOUR sets of stairs in total!

We were visiting Greenwich (the parking just below the "mobile homes" is only £1/hr (£1.10 at weekends)) so decided to "take the exercise" to nab this cache.

Callum seemed to enjoy the acoustics during the walk.


Cheers!

Paul, Debbie, Michael & Callum

Nice little cache, thanks. Remember that the Tom, Dick and Harry cache (GCG24W) makes it's way to this area too.

Thanks.
