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.

Have a good look around. You should see two objects, approximately 10cm across, at the hashpoint. Tongs (talk) 14:49, 29 September 2015 (EDT)

Four of us will be driving to the hashpoint and approaching it from the other side - from Cambridge Road, Newton. We hope to be at the hashpoint just before 18:30. We'll try to leave some kind of decorated stone for PaintedJaguar.

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.
