Expedition

Fairly mundane ... Parked off the road on a bare piece of ground on the verge. Walked back the way we came along the verge about 300m. SR pointed out that I was, in all likelihood, going to end-up with wet feet if I didn't watch where I was stepping. She'd spotted the reeds growing out in the verge I was too busy looking at my nuvi 550 ...

Anyway we arrived at the closet point as the hash location was in a field, just before sunset. The nuvi gave a reading of 47m from the has location. Given it was private land with a hedge and gate and all we didn't go in. Guess this was a near miss. The photo below shows the field in which the hash is located.
