That was the last cache of the weekend, we went back to the Hotel to get my backpack, then headed for Farringdon station and the Elizabeth Line over to Euston station, then went up to Mornington Crescent to meet a friend of ours for a drink… come 5 O’clock it was time for me to walk back down to Kings Cross for the 5:35 back to Leeds

So a final 39 caches taking the total to 190 finds in total over the four days… well over the number I had thought of, and a final 23,700 steps, taking the total to almost 144,400 steps, 54.9 miles – far more than I thought I could walk let alone was going to be able to walk – I have never in my life walked that far in four days before, and it really wasn’t too bad at all – it being mostly on the flat and on flat tarmac certainly helped there.
