Geocache Description:

The sixth and last in the Sherlock multi-virtual cache series set in London.

A box of Watson’s memorabilia of Sherlock Holmes has been stolen from his club in Piccadilly. A note left at the scene of the crime tells you that the booty is hidden at the following co-ordinates -

North AB CD.Q(N-Q)E
West HJ GK.P(M-F)E

To turn the letters to numbers, you have to visit a series of London locations suggested by the thief (is the evil Moriarty playing with you?). The virtual caches are independent of each other, so you can visit them in any order. It is possible to complete this in one day, and to do so, we suggest you follow the caches in ascending numerical order to save yourself journey time and costs. However, each cache is chosen to be in an interesting, and hopefully slightly less well-known, area of London - so you may prefer to explore the area around each of them. Bring a guide book!
