Expedition

The hashpoint was in a field behind Place Farm in Chiddingly. I tried to reach it through the farm buildings but there was no public access; fortunately a lady told me that there was a public footpath at the rear.

In fact, given the recent weather, the footpaths were virtual swamps and nigh-on untraversable. I'd also forgotten my wellies, and nearly destroyed a lovely pair of shoes in my determination.

The hashpoint was at the edge of a partly frosted field, marked by the carcass of some animal or another. Grins snapped, I returned home from the double-hash across the Prime Meridian.
