Location

68 metres off shore. Aldburgh, Suffolk, UK.

Participants

Sourcerer

Expedition - Fail

Sourcerer knew these coordinates could not be reached but he made the attempt any way. Mad or what?

The hashpoint lay 68 metres out at sea: a boat would have been needed. In failing light, pouring rain and a cold north breeze, Sourcerer almost failed to document the failure. There was one compensation. He located a controversial sculpture, hated and vandalised by some and loved by others. Sourcerer just wanted to get out of the November weather as soon as possible.
