Location
In a field, near Tytup Hall, North of Dalton-in-Furness.
Participants
Plans
Bag a mountain bike ride in the early part of the day, visit the meet-up point on the way back home to Barrow-in-Furness.
Expedition
The location was near a local minor road, and did not need any formal planning to reach. I had already planned to visit Dalton on my way back to Barrow, so it proved to be a very minor diversion for me.
I was able to park within 60 metres of the geohash. In had considered both the satellite images from google, and the recent rain-fall. Both suggested that if I wanted to stand on the actual point, then I may need rubber boots. Or a small boat. I made a tactical decision to accept a 'near-miss', and the result was that I was only within 23 metres of the hash point.
The Android application did try and tell me that I had made the geohash. I prefer to get within less than 5 metres of the geohash before I will consider it a success. In saying that I do acknowledge that consumer GPS receivers are usually accurate to about 10 metres, depending on the local conditions.
Photos
Auto-photo at the geo-hash.

Achievements
None, even the "Mother Nature's Bitch" Consolation Prize doesn't count because I could have chosen to wade out up to my knees in muddy and cold water.
