Location

The forecourt of a Ford dealership, Wilmslow, Cheshire East , UK.

Planning

Go early to dodge the holiday traffic. Visit the shiny cars. Return to Mike and Jane's house and spend the rest of the day eating and drinking!

Participants

Sourcerer

Expedition

In a bright dawn with a spectacular sunrise, Sourcerer headed north. Parking was a bit of a problem. Mostly the parking places were permit-only. I found one about 250 metres from the HP and walked a lot further finding a route through. The hashpoint was among the shiny new cars in the dealership. There was a nicer return route via the River Bollin cycle route.
