- Found it
This one caused me a little confusion! I came to this park to look for this OpenCache. My GPSr was all over the place, but I followed the hints instead of the pointer and it led me to a cache. Which turned out to be a Groundspeak cache, with a name that was similar to but definitely not the same as this one.
What with the wrong name and my GPSr pointing me 150 feet away, I thought I must have found the wrong cache, but after re-checking the clue I decided this had to be the one I had come for. I didn't have the Groundspeak listing with me to check, but now I'm home I see that the co-ordinates for the two are identical, so they must be one and the same.
I'm now caching with an Oregon 550t. This is a very fine machine in many ways, but regrettably it is built round a rather mediocre GPS engine. In good reception conditions it is OK, but today in the urban canyons it was pretty much a waste of space, the 150 feet discrepancy it was reporting being about as good as it got on these central London caches! Anyway, despite that, I found all the caches I looked for, so I guess it could have been worse 
.
Thanks for the cache, in a lovely little spot, also for the technical FTF, though it rather lacks the impact of a normal FTF as the cache has already been found by 100 cachers on another listing site .
Rgds, Andy
