I was out in London with CathyMay whilst sarahjones65 and RiggyRob went to some physics lectures at the university. We'd been on the London Eye and had done a couple of caches round there and had now returned to Westminster Abbey to be shocked that they were charging us to go in - so we didn't!Instead we carried on round the building to one of the few remaining parts of the original Parliament - the Jewel Tower.
The history was fascinating and we quickly found the answers to the clues after reading the information boards. Thanks for bringing us to this very interesting spot - we've never been before and would probably not have come without this cache being here.
This type of cache is called a virtual cache which means it's just an interesting location with no container to find - these caches have now been banished from http://www.geocaching.com/ which is a real shame because I think that they have a place. I am getting worried that we geocachers are littering the world with small plastic containers and that's going against the ethos of this sport. Virtual caches are available on a splinter website (http://www.waypinting.com/) as 'waypoints', but I'd rather they were part of the main geocaching website.
