A regular cache hidden near Ruislip Lido.
You are to hunt Lido’s Lair!
Ruislip Lido is a stunning area that captivated us on our first visit.
It was created in 1811 as Ruislip Reservoir, built as a feeder for the Grand Union Canal. In the 1920’s the reservoir was used for skating and swimming. In 1936 however, the Lido was redeveloped into a leisure area for the public, and in its heyday attractions included rowing and paddle boats, a beach with a swimming area, a miniature railway and a children's playground. The Lido also became renowned as a water skiing area, with the world championships being televised from there.
Upon the success of the Lido during the 1970s the then Council started to charge a steep admission charge which was very unpopular and put people off visiting the area. This lead to the end of the Lido as a major attraction.
The Lido today pulls a crown on sunny days, and is a popular area for local families. The main building has been replaced by The Waters Edge (Brewers Fayre) pub/restaurant, the miniature railway has been extended, the children's playground has been regenerated and a small shop and café exists near the beach.
