Location

The location was behind a housing estate in Rampside, Barrow-in-Furness.

Participants

Plans

The plan was to cycle to the hash, and to return home via the same route. Only a 7 mile round trip, and should not present any dramas.

Expedition

I cycled through the busy tea-time afternoon traffic, arrived on site about ten minutes early. Nobody else was present when I arrived. I found the location quickly, as the local terrain was a reasonably well-kept green space surrounding a children's play area. My hopes were raised for a moment when a man with his dog arrived. They didn't show any interest in what I was doing, so I will assume he was not geo-hashing. I waited until 4pm, nobody else arrived, so I left and cycled home.

Tracklog

No tracklog for this journey, I don't qualify for the Tron Achievement.

Photos
