FantasticCat has started this series which is a continuation of the
series that Dorsetgal has started in Dorset (GC1K6MX), after
hearing about it how it got established in the US on the Podcacher
Podcast. Hopefully in time it will become established nationwide!
The guidelines, as set out by FantasticCat, for this series are
copied below from the first in this series (GC1N994) Curse of the
FTF Greater London #1- New River Head:
1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this
case, The Curse of the FTF #8) within 1 month... Otherwise the
curse will prevent you from ever getting another FTF again!!!
Muhahahahahahahaha!
2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the
FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along.
3. Cache can be any type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.), but I
do ask that: You set it in Greater London (there are 33 London
boroughs making up Greater London; Enfield in the North down to
Croydon and Bromley in the South, Hillingdon in the West through to
Havering in the East)
4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for
the series. I will be happy to answer any questions concerning the
guidelines or about the placing of caches to those who have not
placed a cache before.
By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the
standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this
cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the
FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no
way a requirement for logging your find.

And now on to Number 7 - Westway Sports
The Westway Sports Centre sits beneath the Westway (A40)
flyover. There are football pitches, tennis courts, a climbing
centre, a horse riding centre, and many muggles.
If you like pop - or rock - there are several musical
connections...
In 2007/08 KT Tunstall, Duffy, Hot Chip and many others
performed just outside the Sports Centre's Reception area for the
BBC's Sound show.
The Westway's been mentioned in songs by the Clash, Blur, Dirty
Pretty Things and Pete Doherty. In the early 70s hippy free gigs
took place under the Portobello Road section of the Westway,
featuring bands like Hawkwind and Pink Fairies.
This section of the famous flyover's also been featured on
several album covers - The Jam's 'This Is The Modern World', The
Clash's 'From Here to Eternity', Stereophonics' 'Performance &
Cocktails', Bloc Party's 'A Weekend in the City' and Pete
Townshend's 'White City'.
Nearest tube is Latimer Road.
The cache contains a log and pencil. Please replace the cache
carefully.
