Location

3 km west of Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK. It was in an oil seed rape field 17 metres west of the road.

Participants

Expedition

A few days had elapsed since my last expedition so what better than to go midnight hashing. After picking off 2011-08-02_52_1 at 23:32 I headed south.

I parked in a passing place on the single track road leaving the side lights on. At 1a.m. there would be little traffic.

Soon after 1a.m. my droid reported the following.

Arrived. -- Sourcerer @52.1064,1.2704 01:08, 03 August 2011 (GMT+01:00)

The hashpoint was 17 metres into an oil seed rape field. I squeezed past a few tall wiry plants, soon to be harvested, until I was inside the circle of uncertainty. I didn't bother to get zero on the display. The plants were so thickly intergrown that the damage would have been unacceptable. After all this is geohashing, not crop-circle making!

The drive home on a warm summer night on traffic free roads was very pleasant.

Photos

It was pitch dark!

Achievements

Sourcerer earned the Midnight Geohash achievement

by reaching the (52, 1) geohash on 2011-08-03 in the middle of the night.
