Arrived -- Sourcerer @51.9428,-2.7956 15:31, 13 February 2012 (GMT)

This doublehash came about after another weekend of beer and curry with good friends. I altered my route home to take in two new graticules and a new country too.

I found a parking place and set out on foot. The public footpath I was seeking was gated and not signposted and there was a warning about loose dogs. Once again I had to find an alternative way. Further up the hill there was easy access to the sheep field containing the hashpoint. A couple of minutes later I'd arrived and taken the photo.
