Location

Between Haddon Hall and Ferry Farm, South of the Sutton Hoo, 6th and 7th century, Saxon burial grounds, Suffolk, UK.

Participants

Sourcerer

Plans

Expedition one of two spanning midnight - 2015-11-10 52 1 - 2015-11-11 52 1 - ETA 21:55.

This is about 2km from the nearest public road and 460 metres from a public footpath.

Expedition - Fail

The hashpoint was 2.2 km from the parked car. There was a tarmac road (public footpath) followed by over 450 metres of mown lawn (private). Google earth was not clear about the farm layout. A tall hedge and a barn would have been ideal. In fact it was the farm house with a front drive and no hedges at all. There was no doubt about it. I was in their garden. Before I got too close and started triggering security lights, I retreated. This completely failed my "no disturbance" test and there was no scope for a plausible cover story at nearly 11pm. The farm backed onto the Deben estuary and was a millionaires property. My closest approach was 38 metres.
