After an uneventful cycle ride across Barrow, I reached Green Lane and found the location. There was a car parked on the exact spot, but given the positional accuracy of civilian GPS it was close enough. I was a few minutes early, so I waited but nobody else arrived. I recorded my arrival at the hash and returned home for the write-up.

Revision as of 17:01, 28 September 2014

Location

Green Lane, Dalton-in-Furness.

Participants

Currently it is just myself, Alexandersmith (talk)

Plans

I am planning to cycle there, it will take me about 30 minutes. The location is a quiet suburban street, and it should not be a problem to reach.

Expedition

After an uneventful cycle ride across Barrow, I reached Green Lane and found the location. There was a car parked on the exact spot, but given the positional accuracy of civilian GPS it was close enough. I was a few minutes early, so I waited but nobody else arrived. I recorded my arrival at the hash and returned home for the write-up.
