Geocache Description:


The Greenwich and Woolwich Foot Tunnels were originally built in 1902 and 1912 respectively. The purpose of the tunnels was to provide reliable all-weather access by local residents to the London shipyards and docks on the north side of the Thames. Both foot tunnels were built by the former London County Council.
The Greenwich Foot Tunnel crosses beneath the River Thames in East London, linking Greenwich(Royal Borough of Greenwich) on the south bank with Milwall (London Borough of Tower Hamlets) on the north. Approximately 4,000 people use the tunnel (open 24/7) each day. It opened in 1902.

At stage one you will find a bench with a NFC tag underneath, scan the NFC for instructions to find the final cache. NFC missing or not working, take a look at The Great Eastern, N 051° 29.256 W 000° 01.265 you may just find some help there.

At the final gz, please DO NOT try to remove the cache itself as it's GLUED in place, you will need tweezers or similar to extract the log book.
