Found GC13NEG From a Swan to the Canary: Hermit
I'm in London for a long weekend of Jet Lag Hide & Seek, staying at a hotel a little to the North of here. After having to DNF Aldgate East Sidetracked, which is pretty much below my bedroom window but seems to have gone walkabout, I felt like I needed a geocaching win so I waked down here to hunt for this one.
Initially starting atop the bridge I soon realised that I needed to approach this one from the waterfront. I first found a more-obvious hiding spot - perhaps the home of the larger muggled container? - before checking the hint and locating its younger sibling.
Greeted some swans before beginning the rainy walk back to check out of my hotel. -
Did not find GC6R926 TUBE SideTracked - Aldgate East
I've been in London playing Hide & Seek (by Jet Lag rules) and my hotel overlooks this fountain. I came down to take a look - the "running hooves" splash effect is pretty great!
Sadly, the cache was nowhere to be found, though. I found the right dog and prodded and poked it, as well as running an investigative mirror around every side of it, without success. Think it might have vanished!
