Retrieve It from a Cache 11/2/2009 Alfiegeorge retrieved it from Liverpool Street Micro #1 (London) London, United Kingdom   Visit Log

The coin came with me on my commute to work today - which means its had a ride on the London Underground to Liverpool Street Station.

Picture of the Broad Street / Liverpool Street exit from the station appended.

Keen movie fans might recognize this Underground Station exit. In the film "Mission Impossible", Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt settles into a London "safe house" before embarking on the film's climatic journey by Eurostar to Paris. The flat that is used for the set of the "safe house" is above the exit on this corner and can be clearly identified from exterior shots used in the film.

Anyway, back to the coin. Almost all the caches in this part of London are micros so just a quick drop and retrieve in the nearest cache to site of the photograph - I'll re-drop the coin for real next time I'm out caching.

Picked up from the local "Pedal Power" series so, if not already completed, add cycling to the list of modes of transport. Given all that this coin has already done I've really got to get my thinking cap on for some more alternatives for the mission
