Hey everyone!

Jennifer here.

When in London… do a smidge if Geocaching!

I was in London for a speaking gig and couldn’t resist a sneaky bit of caching. I didn’t plan it, I just thought to myself if I have some time I will have a look and see what is around.

I had the opportunity to find two virtual caches.

First cache

I happened to have met a fellow writer in South Kensington for a coffee and I had a couple of hours spare and could see the V&A Museum was very close and had a virtual. I must admit I spent over an hour on it as it had a riddle BUT I got there in the end and wasn’t expecting to see this! I was so delighted that Geocaching brought me to visit the statue of David. It was in a side room I would have never had looked out for as it came from a dark corridor.

Once the riddle was solved I still had to find information from the back of the statue on a plaque. Managing to log it in the end and a lovely wonder around I enjoyed some time in the beautiful museum.

Second cache

I made my way to Paddington train station with good time, this is where I was meeting the event organisers for my speaking gig the next day.

I sat and read for a bit and then decided to have a quick look for caches to see if there was a cache in the station. I had already taken a must needed photo in Paddington underground to show the kids…

A quick look on the app and I could see there was a virtual cache nearby. I knew it had to be something to do with Paddington. A short walk a way and I find the statue I needed to. I had to answer the cache request and inform the cache owner of what was written on the suitcase. A nice and easy find with a photo opportunity.

It was nice to enjoy some light Geocaching in London.
