Location

On the outskirts of Ulverston, England.

Participants

Plans

This is as straight-forward as it gets. Approximately twenty minutes driving, followed by a few minutes walking to the geohash.

Expedition

The geohash was in the middle of a school playing field. Currently the schools are all on summer break. When I arrived the main gate was open. Save for one green VW van parked by one of the buildings, there were no signs of life.

I started walking towards the geohash as if I was supposed to be there. Nobody came to see who I was or why I was there, so I continued on to the geohash.

Two photos later, and I was on my way to the exit. I walked back to my car, and returned home. Easiest geohash I've done so far.

Tracklog

No tracklog available, but the photo of the Droid Geohash app is sufficient. If not, my phone camera has recorded the GPS fix in the EXIF data of the self-photo.

Photos

Myself at the geohash
