Expedition

Hash one of two spanning midnight. 2015-04-08 52 1 and 2015-04-09 52 1

Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.4232,1.5425 23:53, 8 April 2015 (GMT+01:00)

There is always something new. Tonight it was thick fog close to midnight with no moon. This was as close to instrument flying as it's possible to get on foot. My approach was poor. I had to fight my way through an overgrown hedge and over a dry ditch. In clearer conditions this could easily have been avoided. After the hash-dance, I set off in completely the wrong direction and had to correct myself with the GPS display.

I just noticed that I did this with only three minutes left in the day (SatNav time - my phone is less accurate). Considering the conditions, it could easily have turned into a time-out failure.
