Geocache Description:

"La Delivrance" is 1st Finchley Scout Groups fourth geocache. We are based a short walk up the road in Finchley and regularly use the area for navigation training.


La Délivrance is a 16-foot statue in bronze of a naked woman holding a sword aloft, and is the work of French sculptor Émile Oscar Guillaume (1867–1942). It is located at the southern edge of Finchley at Henly's Corner, at the bottom of Regents Park Road. The statue has a number of local names including "Dirty Gertie", "The Wicked Woman", and (most popular – to the exclusion of its real name) "The Naked Lady".

The statue was created as a celebration of the First Battle of the Marne when the German army was stopped from capturing Paris in August 1914.

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