Attempt 1 of 3 today :: 2013-09-28 52 -0 :: 2013-09-28 52 0 :: 2013-09-28 52 1

There was an access road to agricultural land where it was possible to park the car. A couple of hundred metres north and up a steep bank roadside cutting, there was the hashpoint. I got to within 8 metres on the wrong side of a well maintained human and animal proof hedge. On the other side, not far away was a public footpath so the point was reachable. I didn't think it was necessary to walk the extra distance to stand on the exact spot. Sliding down the bank in a manoeuvre I call a glassade, I had a flash of memory from my childhood of the joy of sliding down a steep hill on ones backside. Fun!
