Pbro (talk) detoured on his cycle commute past this central divider hash.

Location

In wide central divider of Allesley Old Road, Coventry. The hash is in a bush opposite 618 Allesley Old Road, CV5 8GB, close to the junction with Holyhead Road.

Participants

Pbro (talk) -- detoured on his bicycle on his way to work.

Expedition

Pbro (talk) finally found another hash in bicycle distance from home. Decided to stop by on glorious morning on the way to work (10 min detour). The hash was easily accessible, located on an overgrown central divider where Allesley Old Road is a dual carriageway. I first stopped my bicycle on the northbound side of the divider and headed into the undergrowth along a footpath, but could not get close. After checking the exact location on my mobile, I rode around the divider to the southbound side. The exact hash was in a blackberry thicket just opposite 618 Allesley Old Road. After making sure that I had reached the hash to within GPS precision, I rode back down Allesley Old Road, just to remember that I wanted to take a hash selfie. So back up the hill, another pic, and off to work.

The same evening, I fell of my bicycle on the way home, fractured my wrist and thus did not get to report this hash until much later...

Tracklog

Battery failure in my tracking GPS device (or rather charging failure on my side). So no track log.
