Location

On the Icknield Way long distance trail, on a track near Honington Airfield, somewhere between Thetford and Bury St Edmunds.

An initial look on Google Maps doesn't suggest this is a promising hashpoint, with no roads/tracks in the immediate vicinity. But switch to Satellite view, and the hashpoint is at the edge of the field with something that looks very much like a track running alongside. Cross-reference this to an Ordnance Survey map, and the track is in fact part of the Icknield Way long distance trail. Switching back to Google Earth, waymarkers can be seen at the point where the track meets the nearby A134. Furthermore, Google shows a bus stop right at the junction (Rymer Point), with the 84 bus between Bury St Edmunds and Thetford having an hourly service on Saturdays.

Plans

Currently studying the OS map in detail to see if a walk of an hour or two can be planned in the area taking in the hashpoint. But struggling to come up with anything sensible, so the plans may simply be:

1444 train from Cambridge to Bury St Edmunds, giving a four minute connection to...
1527 bus from Bury St Edmunds station to Rymer Point (halfway between Ingham an Barnham on the timetable)...
allowing for 15-20 minutes to walk to the hashpoint, hopefully arriving at 1600...
and then returning in the same direction, possibly via a pub in Bury St Edmunds for an early evening meal
