Location

On a road near Tacolneston, Norfolk, UK.

Participants

MagicIan reached the coordinates.
Sourcerer visited this retrohash on 2015-11-26.

Expedition

MagicIan reached the hashpoint while achieving the Speed Racer ribbon. It was quite a lazy hash to achieve as it was quite close to his workplace and there was very little chance of meeting anyone else in the process, yet he quite enjoyed it as it allowed him to investigate some more bits of countryside that he hadn't seen before. Even better, the roads to the Speed Racer hash were great driving roads which made it all the better to achieve it. MagicIan stopped just short of the point to take a photo at the farm, waited until the road was clear and then accelerated up to the national speed limit (60mph on the country road), taking a photo as close as he could, and then braked and pulled into a gateway to the field in order to take a photo of himself and his noble steed for the achievement.

Sourcerer: Expedition four of four spanning midnight - 2015-11-25 52 1 - 2015-11-25 52 0 - 2015-11-26 52 1 - 2010-03-31 52 1 Retro - ETA 00:30. Neil drove through this retrohash at 00:45 on 2015-11-26 while returning home from three earlier expeditions spanning midnight. No extra mileage was incurred. Previous expedition - Next expedition
