Location

In a field, near the Golden Ball at Snatchem

Participants

Angel. One of my flatmates also setout with me, but turned back feeling ill.

Plans

Walk to the Golden Ball, have a pint, and then continue some time around 4 to see if the hash is reachable, and if anyone else is there.

Expedition

Pretty much as planned. It turned out the footpath didn't go across the field like I thought (the footpath was across the next field, and was blocked). But it was possible to get into the field through a gate on the far side. I'm not sure if this should have been a "no trespassing", but as the gate wasn't locked and there were enough footprints to suggest that at least a few people walk their dogs across the field, I assume it's effectively public.

  A great place to meet up after reaching the hash (if we can); but not quite there yet. @54.0477,-2.8419
