March to the River Event Cache
team tisri: Don't know what happened to the remaining bug and coin, I guess someone either took them and didn't log them or they just went missing.
Anyway it's probably about time this one got archived.

OK all you London cachers (and all who fancy coming to London), here's another chance to get together, swap tales and travel bugs, and have a drink or two.
This event cache is just north of the Thames and has views over the Millennium Bridge, the Tat(e) Modern and, of course, the river. Festivities start around 6pm and go on until the last person leaves, or the pub throws us out.
The location is The Samuel Pepys, Stew Lane, London, EC4.
It's easily accessible by public transport, it's within 10 minutes walk of Mansion House, Blackfriars, Cannon Street, and Bank stations.
Parking is available further east along Thames Street (about a 5-minute walk) but I remember it being fairly expensive, as you'd expect for a central London location.
The pub has a wheelchair lift to get upstairs to the bar, an accessible toilet and they welcome registered assistance dogs. They also do table service.
As if all of the above wasn't enough there are plenty of caches very close by for those coming from further afield - I've done most of them and can recommend them. I'd particularly recommend Last Delivery as a nearby travel bug hotel and for those who like multis I greatly enjoyed "Not Piccadilly".
And just in case any more enticement is needed I'll be bringing along the one and only... (drum roll maestro)... Cache Flag 2! Yes, you get to sign the flag if you come along.
Oh yes, and I've got some Jeeps and coins and things to bring and share.
Please give an idea early on whether you're likely to make it so I can confirm numbers. I've made a booking for 15-20 so far.
Update: Just to clarify, it's on Wednesday 15th March starting from 6pm. I'll be there from 6, and chances are someone will be there until last orders.
I've made the difficulty 2 because GPS reception can be very flaky in this area, and terrain 1.5 because of the steps and the fact the walk from the station is more than 100 yards. Just to reiterate, there is a wheelchair lift for those unable to use stairs.
