I'll head here after lunch. I need to be home by 5pm, but I should have plenty of time to reach the geohash. I'm considering taking the bus into Glasgow followed by the train to Airdrie, then the same in reverse, but it depends on when I actually leave. This expedition doesn't seem like it will have any issues.

Expedition

After working out how long it would take to get there by bus and train, I realised I had left it too late to make it back in time. As such, I chose to drive, rather than not attempting the point at all. The drive was fine, and parking was easy enough. I bought a drink for my expedition in a nearby shop and headed towards the point. The walk was also easy enough, and I reached the geohash at just after 2:30pm. I had to wander about a little to get my location to match the point, but I managed to do so. Alongside the proof, I only took a photo of the geohash itself, as it always feels a little awkward (and potentially threatening) to take photographs of myself or panoramas outside of someone's house. I walked back to the car and drove home, both of which were the same route as the way there.
