Expedition

Arrived. -- Sourcerer @52.8423,.7904 16:15, 04 November 2012 (GMT)

This was attempt three of three on this day. Neil was returning from a beer and curry themed visit to good friends in Staffordshire. The hashpoint was on the centre line of the busy A149 trunk road across north Norfolk. During a rare pause in the traffic, in the pouring rain, Neil walked into the middle of the road. It remained safe for about ten seconds before a hasty retreat was necessary. There was a layby right by the hashpoint so it was really easy to park and walk a few metres to the point. Sculthorpe airfield was the closest landmark.
