Location

Whiteley Primary School. Without privileged access, i think this would be a failed expedition from the start.

Participants

Sermoa

Plans

Sermoa plans to get to this geohash somehow. it's been way too long since i went geohashing! unfortunately there seem to be engineering works between winchester and eastleigh, which means it'll be a replacement bus to eastleigh, then a train to fareham before getting a train to swanwick. after which there is a short walk to the geohash location. i shall try to be there for 4pm.

~~I'm hoping i might be able to combine the expedition with Sidetracked - Swanwick geocache as i have a geocoin to drop off somewhere :)~~

Cancel that! I've just had the presence of mind to check the google streetview and i find out the geohash is in a school - Whiteley Primary School in fact. which means i won't be going after all. Thank Google for UK-wide Streetview!
