Location
On a farm just outside Woodbury.
Participants
Plans
This one and Sunday's are very close so I'll try to get to both of them at around 4pm. However, it looks like it isn't public access so I may not reach it.
Expedition
Departed around 15.10 and cycled down to the Exe River. Continued cycling downstream between the river and the canal and spotted a train and manual bridge that would probably be fascinating when in use.
Crossed the river and continued on to the north end of the Exe Estuary before turning east in Topsham. Attacked by raptors on the outskirts of Topsham. Escaped with a small but quite painful wound likely received from a juvenile.
Cycled along Woodbury Road to Woodbury, encountering butterfly (flitterbug) on the way. Reached the farm the geohash was on at around 4.40, much later than originally intended. I was prevented from reaching the geohash as it was on private property. However, I was able to get within sight of the geohash by a path around a neighbouring field; the closest I could get was 120m. Attempted to get closer through another neighbouring field and was accosted by pheasant. Decided not to try my luck (field wasn't publicly accessible anyway).
Cycled home, retracing steps. Returned around 18.10.
