** full log replaced **

Assisted by Tteggod Trackers, found this one during very pleasant day out walking the sights of London. As mentioned the log is very full.

From austria 10 days in UK for work in Romsey - so sunday take a day off.
what to do... hmmm visiting a premiere League game!
After the game (Chelsea vs. M'brough) a short sightseeingtour trough london with 3 others.
So...they are really slow and tired walking the streets - therefore this was the only cache for me possible .

Anyway my first cache in London - maybe returning sometimes...
thx npg

Found it in the evening with the help of a torch (and the helpful clue). Smiled for the camera, no other muggles to hide from. Thanks for our 300th find.

My last night in London, had to make the most of it, even if it's only 3 degrees... Didn't catch any fleeting glimpse of this one, and it was muggle city as everyone was going home from work along here. Quick grab, sign & replace. Thanks for the cache.

Couldn't find this one, even with the clue.

Pretty sure we were in the right place.

Found it easily, but couldn't find the "last" glimpse part.. Maybe the tides were too high, but an interesting cache anyways..

Thanks

I tried this one a while back but it was not to be. So on this trip to London gave it to Mr J as a challenge and of course he found it but it still took him a while. We were able to see the Fleeting Glimpse as it was low tide at 11:27 Thanks

09:51 Quick find removed white elastic band as it was a huge giveaway. Muggle a plenty but grabbed in a break in them. As we were putting it back three bus loads of old dears turned up. Had to wait for them all to go before putting it back.

Took: More Time for Photography! TB

19:45, just starting to rain and passing traffic with their heads down while the tide rushes out. 4th in the log book today! SL. TFTC.

Found by Mary & David from Australia at 0905. Hardly the best time of day to try for this cache! There was a steady stream of passers by hurrying this way and that on their way to somewhere or other. Luckily after waiting for what seemed an eternity, we had a couple of quiet moments in which we could retrieve and then replace the cache. Quite a challenging urban cache in these circumstances. Our thanks to Jonnytuna for showing us another piece of London that is not so well known.

Painting and maintenance is still going on. Looks like the work has now progressed down from the steps that lead to the top of the bridge and is at the cache site itself.

The whole area is under a plastic sheeted cover and a van is parked nearby with a sign "Blast Cleaning".

Doesn't look hopeful for the cache's well being

Liz an I passed by this morning. There seems to be a lot of painting going on and we were led towards some taped off steps. Hope the cache is still there when they finish.

What a clever hiding spot this one has! I visited late at night, to avoid the prying eyes of the many passers-by. Found the cache exactly where it ought to be, but it is indeed very hard to see!

Cheers!

Wow - tricky one with all the commuters streaming past at half past five on their way home to see tonight's England match in the Euro 2004.

Thanks for the info on the Fleet.
