Clambering over the roadside crash barrier might be close enough. A bum slide down the embankment might also be needed. The vegetation looks very dense.
Expedition
Just before midnight I parked in a lay-by on the main road. The hashpoint was 10 metres away down the embankment and not easy to reach. The vegetation was very dense at the woodland edge. I returned to the car and drove to a side road which crossed under the main road with a bridge.
There there was a mown path leading to the thicket with a black cat fleeing the light of my torch. A well trodden track led up the embankment. I heard movement and a human cough. I think there was a rough sleeper sheltering under the bridge or perhaps it was a lovers' tryst. I never saw anyone.
There was a 15 metre bushwhack on the 30 degree embankment to reach the hashpoint. I accidentally set off my camera flash - not the best plan if you're trying to be discrete. While taking my evidence photo someone flashed a torch in my direction. They were about 15 metres away close to the bridge blocking my return path. I guessed my activity was less illegal than the torch bearer's so I made my way towards the exit. Whoever it was melted into the darkness and I never saw anyone. A midnight mystery!
