Location

Next to a street on grassland not far from Leeds.

Participants

Mampfred
A dragalong

Plans

Mampfred will be driving through and hopefully (if timing is right and the colleague in the car is game) will make a quick stopover here.

Expedition

Yay, everything worked out perfect. Picked up the car in the morning and convinced my colleague that it's a great idea to walk into a wet field in the middle of the UK before lunch. We jumped a little fence and found the hash to be five meters in. Took some photos and moved on to Doncaster to get some real work done ...

Achievements

Is it true that this user earned the Border geohash achievement by crossing the Germany-UK border?

In principle, yes.
But they didn't cross the border "for the express purpose of attending a geohash" as pointed out on the talk page (2013-06-11 53 -1).

Mampfred earned the Drag-along achievement

by dragging a colleague to the (53, -1) geohash on 2013-06-11.
