Plans
Benjw
Not quite sure when I will make this, but it's mostly likely to be about 1:30 - 2pm. Will cycle over to the hashpoint after a lecture in central Cambridge.
PaintedJaguar
Can't make lunchtime or early evening, but if time allows will aim for either the 20:55 or 21:55 train from Cambridge to Foxton. Will look out for any markers left by others (hint!), if they're easy to spot with just torchlight.
Tongs
Two of us will be there this evening. Still working out when exactly.
Expedition
Expedition One (Benjw)
I was planning to go to the hashpoint this afternoon, after a lecture on Pluto I was attending at noon, but it turned out that my morning commitment finished earlier than expected, leaving enough time to bike out to the hashpoint and back in between. So I did. It helped that I was already on the correct side of Cambridge, so I cycled out from Addenbrooke's hospital on the stripy cycle path, through the Shelfords and out towards Newton. It was a pleasant day for a cycle and there was a light breeze propelling me along, so I arrived at about 10:50. As expected, the hashpoint was easily accessible -- about six metres off a public footpath along the side of a field. The field was bare and the earth was quite solid. Photos were taken and I left the hashpoint at 10:56, nicely in time for a leisurely cycle back into Cambridge via Harston and Trumpington.
