Participants

Plans

Go before the rain sets in.

Expedition

This was a road hashpoint. There was bright spring sunshine at the start but a minor westerly storm was approaching at speed. Before the hashpoint, the rain became quite heavy. There were a few moments of comedy as, with only two hands, I attempted to take a photo (1) of my GPSr (2) while controlling an umbrella (3) in the wind and rain, also dodging the traffic because the hashpoint was in the middle of the road. Slightly damp and un-flattened by traffic I returned, dodging the puddles, to the car. The drive home was soggy. I forgot to get a speed racer.
