This cache has been archived.

Tim & June: This cache went gone missing some time ago but has been replaced by another cacher.

Emails sent to Bagpuss (placer of this cache) are being rejected as the address to which they are sent is no longer valid.

In order that the placer of the new cache can receive logs etc for the new cache, he has created a new cache page. The old page cannot easily be transferred to the new cacher without the approval of the old cacher.

The replacement cache waypoint is GCEA51 and you can access it here http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=59985

Geocache Description:

*** PLEASE SEE THE LOGS... AWAITING CONFIRMATION THAT CACHE IS STILL IN SITU ***

London's first cache: a walk in the park


Take a constitutional up the hill with a governing view of London. Seek the resting place of Alan A Johnson, Pilot. Turn your back to the madding crowd and walk 300 metres North by Northwest.

Our cache lies burried at the foot of a solitary gnarled tree in a lonely thickett. Be careful to follow the instructions, whereby you shall learn the first rule of geocaching. Take a photo with the camera and we will compile a website of successful geocachers.

At the cache, enjoy the view over the ponds where only men can bathe, towards London's first 'Marx and Spencer'.
