Location

In the road on Smith Way, Leicester (Grove business park)

Participants

Plans

The plan was to head there sometime mid-afternoon unless anyone else suggested an actual meetup.

Expedition

Joe made his way there after popping to the bank in Wigston. I arrived, drove through the location point at as close to the legal limit as I could for a Speed Racer geohash (unfortunately, I'd not got the tracklog recording though, so I can't be certain), then found somewhere to park up and check out the location on foot. The traffic meant I couldn't hang around in the road long enough to pin down the exact point, but I was pretty close. I took a couple of photos from the side of the road and headed home.

Photos

The co-ords of the pavement by the side of the hashpoint
The point from one side of the road
...and from the other side.

Achievements

Speed racer (although lacking evidence)
