Geocache Description:

The Jackson Pond cache is the second in a series of caches that highlight some of the publicly accessible but little known ponds in and around London. The caches are all found in close proximity to and with a great view of the pond.

The terrain is easy, parking is close by, but the puzzle to find the coordinates of the cache is challenging. BYOP to sign the log!


The initial coordinates are in the middle of this beautiful pond in the Sunnyside subdivision of southeast London. You can park at the south end or north end of this pond on neighbouring side streets.

As I was placing the cache, I spied one great blue heron, probably eating some fish from the pond. A passing muggle walking his dogs told me that two herons frequent this pond, and often perch on the railings along the side of the pond. They are beautiful birds, who soar with an enormous wing span.

In order to solve this puzzle, you have to decode the following series of flags. If correctly decoded, they will take you to the final coordinates and the hidden cache. You will have a great view of the pond from this location.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.


The cache has several toy animals to trade, but it is a small cache and can hold only small items, and maybe a TB.

Please take the opportunity to visit some or all of the other eleven pond puzzle caches in the series. And when you log your find, be sure to mention what sort of birds or wildlife you encounter on your trek.



Congratulations to I K K I and I K K I Jr. for the quick solution and the FTF prize.
