Geocache Description:


Your are standing on the site of the main aisle of the famous Crystal Palace, first erected in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851, and re-erected in 1854 on the summit of Penge Peak, close to the highest point on the London skyline.

Nearby you will see a replica of one of the modules used to build the massive structure, the brainchild of Joseph Paxton, whose bust can be found towards the centre of the Park.

To qualify for this cache, your log needs to be accompanied by a photo of yourself in front of the replica module. Your face does not need to appear in the photo.
