All went well until the start of the stupidity distance. As all hobbits know, NEVER LEAVE THE PATH! Well I had to leave the path and crawl and stoop through a tunnel of thorns up a steep slope. The path improved again and the GPS distance dropped to two metres before going up again. Reception conditions were unstable. After posting the evidence photo and arrival message, there had to be an easier way back to the path. It took 18 minutes for me to travel to the retrohash just over 100 metres away. I was blundering about trying to find a better route down the steep slope in the pitch dark. All the routes looked suicidal. Eventually I gave up and returned to the thorn tunnel which was passable but much harder downhill. Historically, the terrain might have been sandy marine cliffs but now the sea is quite distant. I walked back to the road via the retrohash which had moved a few metres to the other side of the path. Then I had a mini-panic. I couldn't see my parked car. There was a trick of the terrain. After an initially invisible bend, all was well.
On this day, Norwich, United Kingdom equalled the 2009 coordinates-reached all-time record set by Atlanta, Georgia.
