Tolkien Tree, Jekyll and ???? & Shallow Depth
Out for a walk at lunchtime during a work day. I knew there were a few Geocaches around Hyde park so it was time to find them.
First up was “Jekyll and ????” (Hyde?) – This one was quite easy as you can walk straight up to it and see it there, plain as day! I’m very surprised it hasn’t been muggled yet. Perhaps it has in the past and has been replaced. Anyway, I opened the container and found the log book. It was very damp so I stuck my Two Goth Geeks sticker in there and headed off to the next one.
Next up was “Tolkein Tree”. This was a large tree with many nooks and crannies. I searched around in circles for a while then reached inside. Lo and behold, there was ye cache. There was no Travel Bug inside as the log page had said but the logbook was there so I put my sticker on it and headed to “Shallow Depth”.
I got to Ground Zero (GZ) of “Shallow Depth” easily enough, but searched for ages and could not find it. I tried getting clever and looking in areas the GPS didn’t say it was, but alas no cache. I went round and round this cache location for about 45 minutes, not wanting to be beaten. In the end, however, I had to admit defeat and head back to the office. All I ended up with was green fingers and hands from the moss growing around the location of the cache. Perhaps another day I will have more luck. Many others have not found it since and it has since been taken offline for maintenance, but apparently it was definitely there when I was looking.
