This was success three of five attempts today. After a weekend of beer and curry with good friends, the journey home crossed five graticules. The winter weather had finally given way to April sun with gusty winds but it was much warmer and pleasant to be out and about. This hashpoint was in a grassy meadow close to a disused railway converted into a public footpath. The first paddock was well hedged and the hashpoint was on the wrong side. A small backtrack led to the second field where the hashpoint was easy to reach.
