Expedition
MagicIan decided that today's hashpoint would be an ideal one to attempt a walk geohash, and a tron geohash at the same time!
He set off after lunch and headed through Blofield to Lingwood. The hashpoint was located in a field just south of North Burlingham. He was amazed to find that there were some additional public access footpaths not marked on his map which took him within a few meters of the hashpoint. The way home was a bit of a slog along some hot dusty roads, but in the end it turned out to be quite an easy hash.
The thing that made it slightly tricky was the Tron Achievement - the bulk of the route was planned to avoid crossing his path, but the bits around the start and end points were quite tricky. It was also annoying when he missed a turning (which happened twice!) and had to carry on to the next junction and do a loop so that he didn't end up turning back on himself.
