Location

A sweet corn field between Kirby Row and Geldeston north of the river Waveney, Norfolk, UK.

Participants

Sourcerer

Expedition - Fail

70 meters to the hash but tall sweet corn is blocking access. -- Sourcerer @52.4751,1.4941 19:22, 20 July 2011 (GMT+01:00)

On the way to a meeting in Norwich, I diverted via the hashpoint. After the harvest, it would have been really easy. As I was not willing to trample rapidly maturing sweet corn, the co-ordinates were not reached. I got to within 70 metres. This corn field looked healthy in contrast to others nearby which had had no rain and were doomed.

The meeting in Norwich went wrong too. The speaker failed to turn up. He had been rushed to hospital with a nose bleed that would not stop so it was not the most productive of evenings.
