Geocache Description:

"Muggles Walk Past" is 1st Finchley Scout Groups Third Geocache. We are based a short walk away from Victoria Park and regulary use the area for navigation training.


"Victoria Park is in Church End in Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet. It covers 7 hectares (17 acres). It is close to Finchley Central and West Finchley tube stations.

Much of the park was originally part of Colby's Farm, where Charles Dickens wrote part of Martin Chuzzlewit. In 1887 Henry Stephens proposed converting the area to a park to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, but it was not opened until 1902, a year after Victoria's death. It was the only public park in the former Borough of Finchley until 1914.

The park is mainly grassland, with playgrounds, ornamental gardens, playing fields, six public tennis courts, Bowling Club, and a cafe."

The cache is a black magnetic micro cache, you will need your own pen/pencil to write on the log. Please place the cache back exactly as you found it.

This cache is in a VERY public place and it’s suggested that this find be attempted when the park is 'quieter' than usual to save muggles and cyclists rumbling your activities.

Following recent muggling a new location at GZ has been chosen, time will tell if this is a better location.
