Geocache Description:


Snail Mail Boxes - North Ealing to West Acton

My second Snail Mail Boxes cache takes you from a Picadilly Line station, North Ealing, to a Central Line one, West Acton. Could this form a useful interlude to an otherwise monotonous commuting journey?

The traditional letter is being replaced rapidly by emails and other electronic messaging services. Snail Mail - as my friends and I used to describe such physical means - relies on post boxes: three of which lie on the way from North Ealing Station to West Acton Station.

At each of the snail mail boxes, you will need to find the box number.

The first box is at N51°31.060, W000°17.385. The postbox number is W5 AB.

The second is at N51°31.057, W000°17.095. The postbox number is W3 FGD.

The third is at N51°31.062, W000°16.842, with number W3 JK.

Let us know which walks (if any) between two tube stations from different lines you enjoy the most, when you log your find!

The themed cache waits for you at N51°31.(B-K)(A-B)(B+F), W000°16.(A+F-J)(J+G+K)A. Please bring tweezers and pen to do the usual admin! The cache is a bit shy, and would rather not have its photos published.

Beware! There can be updates to the postbox numbers. You can check the final coordinates on GeoChecker.com.
