Location

In some woodland east of Corby.

Plans

Benjw was intending to attempt a time-traveller achievement in the 'repeated' hour we get this morning since the clocks change for the end of Summer Time. Unfortunately the coordinate gods have not smiled and the hashpoint is at the wrong side of the graticule. So no expedition.

-Ben intends to attempt a [[time-traveller achievement]] -- that is, be at the [[2010-10-31 52 0]] hashpoint at 01:00 BST, then dash to this hashpoint and be there at 02:00 BST when British Summer Time ends and local time changes to 01:00 GMT.

So no expedition.
-To make things harder, he has friends coming over for dinner that night, so he (a) has to wait until they leave before setting off, and (b) might have to persuade MrsBenjw to do the driving.
-To make things even harder, the two hashes may be mere metres apart, or anything up to 136 km (85 miles), depending on the luck of the algorithm.  If they aren't feasible, then the mission will have to be abandoned.  There are very few good east-west roads in these graticules, so I'd estimate that there is probably a bit under a 50-50 chance of the two sets of coordinates being feasible.
-More detailed plans will be made when the exact location is known.
