A spot of calendar filling for me so you tagged along to the London neighbourhood of Chelsea. The exclusivity of Chelsea as a result of its high property prices historically resulted in the coining of the term "Sloane Ranger" in the 1970s to describe some of its residents, and some of those of nearby areas. Chelsea is home to one of the largest communities of Americans living outside the United States, with 6.53% of Chelsea residents having been born in the U.S. (Australians tend to everywhere but like Clapham and Camden at the moment). 👛

Wombatwandering took it to #14 - Moggy

The London Geocachers headed to Steeple Morden in Cambridgeshire for a group outing. The aim was half of the Moggy geoart series. Very wet to start with and some heavy rain but it eventually cleared. An airfield opened at RAF Steeple Morden in 1938. It began as a satellite of the base at RAF Bassingbourn and was later used by the 355th Fighter Group of the USAAF. The site of the airfield is now a farm although the concrete taxiways and runways still remain. 🐈⬛

Time for a visit to Tower Hill. It is infamous for the public execution of high status prisoners from the late 14th to the mid 18th century. The execution site on the higher ground north-west of the Tower of London moat is now occupied by Trinity Square Gardens. Then you crossed Tower Bridge but got caught by the bridge opening to let a boat go under. ⚰️

Wombatwandering took it to 6000 Days of Hugo

Out to Ealing in West London for a birthday event of sorts to the United Kingdom’s oldest Wherigo, “Where I Went, Hugo” (GC18FP7). It’s 6000 days old, or nearly 25 years. By 1902 Ealing had become known as the "Queen of the Suburbs" due to its greenery, and because it was halfway between city and country. Nowadays, it’s fully suburban and no more green than anywhere else in London. 🧁

Wombatwandering took it to Rockmansworth #1: Motorhead

I had not driven my car for some time so we headed to an event on a farm at Maple Cross, Hertfordshire, to the north west of London. Found some caches along the Grand Union Canal, the principal navigable waterway between London and the Midlands, then doubled back past this particular cache which is where the Jackson Studios were once located. Motörhead recorded one of the most iconic British rock songs, "Ace of Spades" there in 1980. Other artists who recorded at the studios include Dr. Feelgood, Eddie and the Hot Rods, Girlschool, UFO, Nick Lowe, The Pirates, Elton John and Ian Dury. 🎸

I needed a multi for my calendar today so. Took you just south of the Thames in London to Stockwell. On 22 July 2005, following the 21 July 2005 London bombings, Stockwell gained notoriety as the scene of the shooting by police of an innocent Brazilian electrician, Jean Charles de Menezes, on a tube train. 🪦

Welcome back to the United Kingdom! You attended an event in Teddington, far south west London. Teddington is at the point of the River Thames where tidal flow ceases owing to it containing the 'final lock'. Not many people realise the Thames is a tidal river through London. Tedding is or was home to Julian Clary (comedian, author, actor and LGBTQIA+ activist), Mo Farah (Olympian champion long-distance runner), Keira Knightly (actor), Benny Hill (comedian, actor, singer and writer), and Noël Coward (actor, playwright and songwriter). 🇬🇧

Et retour en France……And back to France…… You spent today wandering around Lille. Louis Pasteur was named dean of the new faculty of sciences at University of Lille in 1854 and began his studies on fermentation. A branch of the Pasteur Institute is in Lille and it was there in July 1921 that Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin discovered the first anti-tuberculosis vaccine, known as BCG ("Bacille de Calmette et Guérin"). Now it’s time to hop on the Eurostar and zoom under the English Channel. 🇫🇷

Bon retour en Belgique! Welkom terug in België! Welcome back to Belgium! In fact, you’ve travelled through France, Belgium, back into France for a bit, and finally into Belgium again. All of that just to get GC40, mainland Europe’s oldest geocache. It’s in a lovely forest in the Namur region. Now to turn around and retrace our route back to Lille. 🇧🇪
