Fail: Military zone. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.5461,.7163 17:09, 14 April 2013 (GMT+01:00)

This was failure one of five attempts today. After a weekend of beer and curry with good friends, the journey home crossed five graticules. The winter weather had finally given way to April sun with gusty winds but it was much warmer and pleasant to be out and about. The hashpoint looked easy to reach using forest and farm tracks. Sadly it was in a military training area without public access. The barrier was 2.5 km from the hashpoint.
