Not at the Top (nr. Tower 42, London) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: Although I am in town tomorrow, I've decided to archive this cache rather than replace it. With a UK cacher recently being arrested and cautioned basically for geocaching, I will be allowing my urban caches to die; anywhere 'risky' to cache - either as a hider or a finder - now comes with a bit of a legal health warning, I'm afraid [:(]

Thanks very much to all who came and found this one, and sorry to those who tried and found it missing, so to speak.

Geocache Description:

Hidden almost six hundred feet below London's Vertical Limit Extreme Event: Tower 42; an event which took place here on April the 1st 2010. No joke :)

A view not quite from the cache site

Tower 42 - formerly the National Westminster Tower - was Britain's tallest building between 1980 and 1990 and the Vertigo 42 bar at the top remains the highest publicly accessible point in London.

The cache is wheelchair friendly, including access, the grab and replace.

35mm micro hidden to blend it.

High muggle area, so take extra care. If approached by the police, explain about geocaching. There's also private security in the area, so have a camera out, ready to give you the cover of photographing the tower. There are also many cctv cameras, so avoid acting too suspiciously. I've included a clear hint to get you in and out quickly!

FTF bragging rights go to Loony Londo by a short nose; 2 minutes!

Feb 19th update: I'm racing up the 920 steps to the top of the tower next month for an event called Vertical Rush and there's an event just around the corner afterwards to help me recover with a nice sit-down, on March the 3rd: GC2NKX9 - Recovery Meet in Tower 42's Shadow. Come along if you can!
