Location

In a car-park behind Jonas Court, one of a number of blocks in one of Sheffield University's student accomodation areas.

Participants

Monty was (so far) the only known attendee.

Plans

First thing in the morning required Monty to be in Sheffield City Centre for a meeting, and the afternoon needed him relocated to the far north end of Sheffield. As per the previous Thursday, this left him with the perfect opportunity to put himself On The Spot for any Sheffield-area meetup not to far South, West or East of the city Centre, and as long as things did not over-run. Movement would be via car, given how it would normally have been that anyway, but could be made a bit easier by choosing a slightly different parking spot in the morning to expedite a shorter trip from centre to Sheffield's leafy western-suburbs, rather than having to barge all the way round in a possible tight schedule.

Inflitration of the destination was to be ad-hoc. A brief electronic overhead surveillence of the ground revealed that the target point was outside of a building (and, without a GPS available, this was going to be the only verifiable point, unless someone else turned up, although a compass was to have been brought for any ready-reckoning necessary) but it wasn't certain what access, if any, could be had.

Having had recent employment in the Univerisity, Monty found himself still possessing a valid (apart from being expired) University ID card, so had entertained thoughts of bluffing his way past security with it, if challenged. Although, if he was honest to himself, he'd probably take the approach of taking a few minutes to explain his quest, should there be any official barring his way, and see if the officials concerned might look kindly upon it. In the event of unattended fences, gates, locked doors or attack-dogs, he'd be calling it quits and instead heading for a bend on a public road indicated to be nearest the spot in question.

(TBA: image of 'plan of attack')

Expedition

It is but a small tale, but needs proper treatment. Wait awhile. (Also, matching up with the imminent pictures.)

Tracklog

None available.

Photos

Coming soon. They just need nicifying and uploading.

Achievements

Yet to be determined. (frexample: "No Batteries" because no GPS, but Silva compass remained unused. "Ambassador", maybe, await the write-up. "Earliest Geohasher" dependant on whether anyone else turned up (and later).) But definitely the standard Land Geohash.
