When: Thursday
March the 1st 2012, from 6pm.
Where: The Crosse Keys, 9 Gracechurch Street, City of
London. EC3V 0DR. This JD Wetherspoon pub is kid-friendly,
wheelchair accessible and has Wifi. A plaque on the front of the
building, which is close to Tower 42, recalls that a famous
coaching inn - called the Crosse Keys - stood near the site.
What: A traditional pub geo-gathering to talk caching
talk, swap swappy travel swaps, eat eaty eats and drink drinky
drinks.
Who: Cachers from far and wide. Who like pubs.
Why: Because I'm in town to run up the 920 steps,
590ft/180m and 42 floors of the near-by Tower 42 (formerly Europe's
tallest building). Not once. Not twice, But NINE times in
succession while attempting to set a Vertical Mile tower climbing
record. A very grand total of 378 floors, 8,280 steps and
5,310ft/1,619m up. Up. UP. UP! I *may* be ok to cache afterwards to
walk off the pain and either way, I WILL be needing a bit of a
sit-down after it! Please take a look at my profile for more
details.
How: Follow your GPS or A-Z to a pub at the above co-ords
and address. The nearest tube stations are Bank, Monument, Cannon
Street or Liverpool Street is also close by.
In the Past: I had a caching event in a pub close by
after my previous 'Vertical Rush' run up Tower 42, in March 2011:
GC2NKX9 - Recovery Meet in Tower42's Shadow - City of London
and here's a
video of my adventure, plus I had a cache meet at the top, back
in April 2010: GC24C31 -
London's Vertical Limit Extreme Event: Tower 42
