Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.2552,1.3731 10:51, 18 January 2015 (GMT)

The hashpoint was 15 miles from home and close to a frequently travelled route. There was no need to use GPS to locate the point apart from the final shuffle. The hashpoint was about ten metres into a freshly ploughed muddy field. A few slippery and ungainly steps took me right to the point. The 100 metre walk back to the car was another shuffle, mainly to clear the mud from my all-terrain sandals.

The round trip by car started in fog with all the colours washed away, like fifty shades of grey with a feeble silver disc of sunlight struggling through the low clouds. The fog cleared and the weather became sunny with low cloud banks slowly clearing. The temperature was between 1 and 2C so not quite a frozen geohash.
