Geocache Description:

This cache is one of seven set in the East End of London tracking the murder sites of Jack the Ripper's victims. It is designed to be a walking tour as well as a hunt. Only cache 7 is a real microcache, you have to visit caches 1-6 first to collect the clues. The walk is flat and on paved streets. To do all the caches in a single day would require a 2.5 mile walk. The cache was originally placed by LeighBCD and adopted by Abigails in March 2017.

To reach Jack’s hideaway, you will need to complete the six caches memoralising the sites where Jack’s victims were killed.

Having collected the clues, the co-ordinates for the “real” cache are as follows:-

N 51° (D+B)(K-J).(C-D+E)GJ' W 000° BL.(K-A)HM'

The cache is a micro cache hidden in a quiet backwater. You will need to watch for muggles. Please make sure that you cover the cache with leaves or sticks once you find it so that it does not disappear!!

History buffs should note that the site of this cache was once an ancient Roman burial ground and recent archaeological digs have unearthed many fascinating treasures - visit The Museum of London to find out more.

Note: Due to significant building work around many of the caches a lot of the questions have had to be changed. The final location of the physical cache has not been changed. If you are part way through finding the information please feel free to contact me and I will help point you in the right direction.
