Geocache Description:

This series takes you around the outside of the park to each of the park's 11 historic gates.

All the caches are outside the park boundary and all are accessible 24 hours a day even if the park is shut.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Gates of Greenwich series is a very popular series with many visitors which is great. It would really help if finders could please please use as little space when signing the logs as possible. Just adding your initials only is enough to prove your find. Please help the logs last as long as they can. THANK YOU.

Located on a hilltop overlooking London, Greenwich Park is one of the city's most beautiful parks. It is the oldest enclosed Royal parkland and is home to the Old Royal Observatory, the brand new Planetarium (which is fab and well worth a visit) and the zero line of the Prime Meridian.

The next gate is the Blackheath Gate and boy is it busy, especially when the Donkey Man is there at weekends. So our cache for this gate is a little way away from the gate itself and it’s a now a magnetic nano. This is quite a difficult find so good luck.

After you find it, please come back into the park and head through the lovely Flower Garden towards the next cache.

This new GATE 6.2 cache is being put out in honour of DorestGal & GeoDog's meet up in the park on 12/6/11.

MUGGLE ALERT – all the areas around the park are very busy – especially at weekends – so please be mindful it keeping this circular series of new caches safe from Mr & Mrs Muggle.

Please also bring a pen to sign the log, and please sign using up as little space as possible!

This is a new version of the old GATES OF GREENWICH #6. It's in a new location though.

If you can please take and post a photo of yourself with your GPS at the gates of the park on your way in.
