Location

In a field just outside Grays, Essex.

Participants

Plans

Well, how can I not take a stab at this one? It's less than three miles from my house; that's practically an honorary Couch Potato!

Expedition

This turned out to be... exactly as easy as I thought it would be. I parked on the kerb opposite the entrance to the field, walked along the edge until I was lined up with the tree from Google Maps, and then paced the 50m across the stubble-filled field until I reached the hash.

The only real concern I had was that the ominous-looking four-wheel-drive vehicle sitting by the field might contain a mob of angry farmers with shotguns... but it didn't, so that was all right.

Photos

  • I think littering is Essex's national industry.

  • Will the farmer hunt me like a rabid animal? Nah, it's empty.

  • I line up on a tree...

  • ... and follow the geohashing farmer's tracks.

  • You thought I was joking about the farmer, didn't you? (Well, I guess I was)

  • I forget how zoom works.

  • Yeah, what's with all the windmills?

What's With All The Windmills?

I've highlighted pictures of windmills in three of my last five reports (the other two being 2015-08-10 52 -3 and 2015-08-22 51 0). What's up with that?

Well... this:
