Expeditions

Planned occasions

• TBA

General upcoming notes

• 2011-03-25 53 -1 Friday: Located within Clumber Park, near Retford. Park area open during daylight hours (approx 0555-1825, on day). Could be an Admit One situation, as cars pre-emptively charged (£3?) for parking on entry, IIRC, unless it's an off-season day. Actual geohash point is slightly off marked paths, but should be accessible anyway, for anyone with the wherewithal and time to spare. F.Y.I. to all you lurkers out there.
• 2011-03-26 53 -1 Saturday: Good general location for Sheffield/Peak District people. Field accessibility may be an issue. Monty may have time to get, but without other likely attendees he's not setting any official meet time.
• 2011-03-27 53 -1 Sunday: Looks good for north Leeds folks, around Harwood House (but not entirely sure about public accessibility).
• 2011-03-28 53 -1 Monday: A very accessible virtually on-road hashpoint near a particularly attractive-looking traffic island just south of Hemsworth. Should be good for any Barnsley-and-surrounds people to visit, at least.

Took place in 2011

• 2011-03-22 53 -1 Tuesday: Located within walking distance of Monty's home, but he was busy during the day. Midnight, Sunrise and closing-Midnight visits made. (Still need to add details to expedition page.)
• 2011-03-20 53 -1 Sunday: Multihash 1 of 5: Sourcerer visited a field north of the A57 at Hollow Meadows about seven miles west of Sheffield, UK.
• 2011-02-24 53 -1 Thursday: Another in a string of Lucky Thursday hits for Monty, to which he'd added a Retrohash of Saturday 19th for good measure, and might have met some potential converts. (Completely forgot to add all he to the intended retrohash report. Coming soon.)
• 2011-02-19 53 -1 Saturday: Failure, due to bad planning. But still a nice day out. Still open to being a decent Retrohash destination, the next available Saturday (or other day) when there's time to spare and that day's hashpoint doesn't make it difficult to do.
• 2011-02-18 53 -1 Friday: On a whim, Monty aimed for and probably missed this hash.
• 2011-02-17 53 -1 Thursday: Yet another Thursday geohash for Monty, who is looking forward for a decent Saturday one so as to eschew the car, for once.
• 2011-02-04 53 -1 Friday: myka succeeds again, about 5km out of leeds city center, on a driveway off Green Hill Drive, Bramley
• 2011-02-03 53 -1 Thursday: Did Monty technically get a 1-week Hashiversarry? Probably not.
• 2011-01-27 53 -1 Thursday: amc and myka found a new hasher and met a farmer.
• 2010-10-06_53_-1#Retro_expedition_2011-01-25 Tuesday: amc and myka, retro expedition to Horsforth again.

Took place in 2010

• 2010-10-06 53 -1 Tuesday: myka at Horsforth Railway stration, possibly in the 'Woodlands Homecare' yard
