Well, how can I not take a stab at this one? It's less than three miles from my house; that's practically an honorary Couch Potato!
Expedition
This turned out to be... exactly as easy as I thought it would be. I parked on the kerb opposite the entrance to the field, walked along the edge until I was lined up with the tree from Google Maps, and then paced the 50m across the stubble-filled field until I reached the hash.
The only real concern I had was that the ominous-looking four-wheel-drive vehicle sitting by the field might contain a mob of angry farmers with shotguns... but it didn't, so that was all right.

I think littering is Essex's national industry.
Will the farmer hunt me like a rabid animal? Nah, it's empty.
I line up on a tree...
... and follow the geohashing farmer's tracks.

I forget how zoom works.
Yeah, what's with all the windmills?

Well... this:
