Checking tide times for the 7th Feb, low tide is around 10:15am and as caches "Under the boardwalk" and "Father Thames & The Mermaid" are tide dependant, we need to do those around then.

What time are people looking to get into London, so we can decided where to meet?

Just wondering: London caches seem to have sooo many favourite points, is that because they're just found often and in an iconic city or are they actually good caches?

Might join you on the next trip; although city caches aren't my thing, there are some virtuals and webcams I'd like to find (plus Tin Pan Alley Band, if that's its name

)

My train gets to Marylebone at 8:30, Paddington is only 2 stops away. How about we meet at Paddington Dare at 9am

Favourite points I would guess are because there are so many visitors. Some of them such as Tin Pan Alley are something that little bit different.

I have just picked up a trackable that wants to get to London, and then home to Belgium, before September 2015.

I'm in Dursley. Is there anyone on this trip I can pass it to, so we can help it on its way?

Gackt? Are you (or your lad) seeing mutchie again before then?

I don't think so. I am on call from today until midnight Friday so I won't be going far before. I will give Storm a poke though in case he's got plans I don't know of.

I think that Big T Little C, Storm and myself will be the latest into London. Bus arrives Victoria at 9.45. Once we've walked to Victoria train station and gotten our underground passes, looking more like 10:15+ before we start heading somewhere to meet up with others.

I don't have a plan. For me same as before, if I come away with one cache I haven't found already I will be happy. I will print out the names of the caches that have been noted here by some of you to do, and note the closest train stations to them alongside, then unless a meet up place is given for us few I will give a call once we're at Victoria ready to meet up to find out where the rest of you are heading to next.

Happy to go with the flow for a few hours, then our group split and head to wherever Tracy finally decides. M&M World in Leicester Square was the last place I heard mentioned.. will probably change again before the day.

Some mention last time about a cache that needs to be done at low tide or something? Let me know if I need to pack some wellies in a backpack, don't mind humping along if it will be worth it.

As there are a few caches that people want to do in this area and the tide will be most favourable at around 10:15am. How about we meet, say at "Father Thames & The Mermaid" at 10:15am and walk from there to the others?

TJ and I can still meet up at Dare at 9am and work out our timing to get to the 10:15am meeting point, as Dare is a bit out on its own.
