Expedition

The walk to the station was rather rainy, but otherwise uneventful. Thankfully, the rain stopped by the time I reached Newmarket, and didn't start again while I was there. I walked to an entrance to the field containing the hash, still 1.5km from the hash itself. As far as I had been able to tell online, the field was used for training racehorses during the morning, and open to the public in the afternoon. So, I ventured onto the field. There were two tractors working the field, but neither of the approached me, so I continued on to the hash. The return journey was much the same.

Newmarket is very known for it's racehorses. While I was there, I saw:

  • Stables
  • Horse-carrying vehicles
  • Several training grounds
  • A pegasus crossing
  • Horse's waste-product
  • Horse-chestnut trees

...but not a single horse.

Photos

  • Reached the hash

  • Me at the hash

  • The view from the hash, back the way I came. It's a very big, mostly empty field
