Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, had the dubious honour of being the first person in Great Britain to be successfully charged with speeding on 28 January 1896. Travelling at
approximately 8mph/12.87kph, he had exceeded the 2mph/3.22kph speed limit for towns. Fined one shilling and costs, Arnold had been caught by a policeman who had given chase on a
bicycle.
Cache is missing! I helped the CO hide this cache, and, following the recent spate of DNFs, decided to come check on it…
It’s definitely been muggled and needs replacement!
Completing today’s tour of Holland Park and the end of my final day’s lunch break in Shepherd’s Bush, I got the opportunity to find this one last cache. The container’s smell gives away
its former life! TFTC!
A wonderful tour of Holland Park finishing with a fabulous cache (and a well-earned Favourite Point). So nice to see a well-designed cache in a beautiful urban park. I’m only in London
for a few days, staying in Shepherd’s Bush for a work-related training course, but I’ve been trying to get out on my lunch break to make the most of the spring weather. This is likely
to be my penultimate cache of the trip, but the one I’ve enjoyed the most. Thanks!
Found while between waypoints while collecting clues for GCVPR3. Nice location and a good container. Had to choose my moment to grab and sign while the muggles were distracted by a
peacock jumping the fence!
GPSr was about 10m off, which it turns out was all it took to start my search in entirely the wrong place. After a fruitless search, I finally thought to try the other obvious
place, and lo and behold that’s where it was! Felt very exposed, surrounded my muggle tourists as I returned it! TFTC.
Walked around pretending to be texting for a while, now: there’s a guy right at the GZ who’s parked his car, gotten out, and seems to be having a picnic on the bonnet! Hoping he’ll go
away soon so I can look where I think the cache is. /sighs/
On the up-side, I saw a fox in the gardens!
Update: he eventually took a walk himself, buying me just enough time! TFTC! (no sign of the racing TV though)
