Geocache Description:

This cache is only recommended 9-5pm daily including weekends. It is particularly recommended for children, but also suitable for all ages. You will need to go to the given coordinates, which take you to a sculpture on the Greenway called Spiegelei Junior, to begin. It shouldn't take you too long, challenge you too much or go very far indeed but it's not a solve at home puzzle.


The Viscountess has returned from travelling in Germany and her case has gone astray.  Can you help her to find it?  

 

Her butler received a message from the concierge at the hotel in Berlin but it seems to have gone wrong in the translation and makes no sense at all.  The message says: 

'Zwei Null Sieben

At the Fried Egg

you will see a sign post,

search around the sign post,

leave no stone unturned.

Look into the fried egg!'

What can this mean? Fried egg? Was ist das? Something must be lost in translation, maybe we need to search for the nonsensical words...can google translate help?'

Go to the given coordinates to find the "fried egg"! The cache is not at these coordinates but very close by.

If this still doesn't make sense, head to the coordinates and you may find all becomes clear quite easily. It will not take you more than a few minutes to solve the puzzle and get to the final cache location.

This section of the Greenway is not currently open all the way to Stratford High Street but can be accessed from the Loop Road or Marshgate Lane at the Stratford end, from the River Lee or Wick Lane.
