Geocache Description:


Tower Bridge has a long and fascinating history. Built between 1886 and 1894, the Bridge has spent more than a century as London's defining landmark, an icon of London and the United Kingdom. However, in 1968, an American tycoon bought Tower Bridge, or so he thought. He actually bought London Bridge—all 10,000 tons of it—and moved it brick-by-brick to the desert town of Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

To log this Virtual as a find you need to -
1. Go to the coordinates at the North side of Tower Bridge where you will then need to walk across the bridge to find the answers you need to claim this as a find, you are looking for two different plaques on the floor. Once you have the answers send email with your caching name in the subject to aaaaa12349876@wesleyken.uk (aaaaa12349876 will be replaced with your answers, eg tomsmithpigeonkeeper@wesleyken.uk) where you'll get your confirmation. Please note gmail addreesses might not receive the reply, that's a gmail setting and nothing I can do about it, sorry.

2. A photo is required of either yourself with the underside of Tower Bridge or the bridge in its lifted position. Please either include your caching name or yourself (face is optional) in the photo, you must be under the bridge, not from the side.

The cache itself is available at all times but will require use of a boat at high tide so you may want to refer to Thames tide tables if you want to go by foot.

You must have a photo with either the bridge open at the spot where my own photo is or underneath, any that do not meet those requirements will result in deletion of log, you do not need to wait for the email reply before logging, but I do check and any logs without the email, will be deleted without warning.

ANY PHOTOS NOT AT THE POSTED CO-ORDINATES WILL RESULT IN DELETION OF LOG 

Bridge lift times can be found here
