This was hash two of five on a 599 km journey. Driving to the hashpoint was tricky because it was surrounded by big cities and motorways. After driving  to the dead end of a huge industrial estate north of Coventry Neil eventually found a route avoiding the city centre. The walk to the hashpoint was only 1.6 km on a public footpath. The point was located in a field on the wrong side of a thick prickly hedge so a small trespass was needed through a gate and a gap in a second hedge. There were no "no entry" signs and it was possible to reach the hash without crop damage. This was a pleasant spot surrounded by major urban areas.

Expedition

This was hash two of five on a 599 km journey. Driving to the hashpoint was tricky because it was surrounded by big cities and motorways. After driving to the dead end of a huge industrial estate north of Coventry Neil eventually found a route avoiding the city centre. The walk to the hashpoint was only 1.6 km on a public footpath. The point was located in a field on the wrong side of a thick prickly hedge so a small trespass was needed through a gate and a gap in a second hedge. There were no "no entry" signs and it was possible to reach the hash without crop damage. This was a pleasant spot surrounded by major urban areas.
