Participants
Plans
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were in the sea. Thursday is in a private house garden.
This looks difficult. Near the river there is a lot of livestock grazing so access might not be possible.
Expedition - Fail
- Fail livestock -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.5881,1.4844 16:42, 19 August 2015 (GMT+01:00)
As expected, this was not accessible. I'm happy to walk along field perimeters and tractor tractor tracks but as soon as livestock and wildlife might be disturbed, I go into "no trespassing" mode.
This was a rather wonderful location. The walk started at a railway crossing close to a "Royal Society for the Protection of Birds" reserve. Then it ran along the banks or the river Yare. The access to the hashpoint was through fields with cows so I chose not to proceed following my "no damage, no disturbance" rules. A potential alternative route had nesting swans so that was ruled out too.
There was almost a pub geohash but the ferry which might have taken me across the river stopped running years ago - sad.
I found and ate ripe blackberries on the route.
I arrived back home, tired, thirsty and hungry so I fed the dog and headed towards the Green Dragon (curry night). They were busy and I had to wait two pints for the food to arrive. Who knew you could measure time in pints! The pub was full of kids, dogs, happy grown-ups, ancient old men and there were no shouty drunks. I ate a fine curry (Red Thai Beef). In the pub, there was a boy, possibly eighteen (to be there legally), dressed as a pirate, brandishing a fake cutlass. Even the American police would realise it was fake and anyway he was white! His dress was possibly in poor taste. He had a yellow tee-shirt, a large backpack, dark glasses and a pirate's hanky on his head, hiding his hair. He was the spitting image of the Bangkok Bomber and completely unaware of what he'd done! This created quite a lot of good humoured banter after Google Images had been consulted as well as some moments of pause, remembering the sadness and stupidity of blowing people up!
I added the windmill and a section of footpath to OpenStreetMap.
