Expedition
Once again it started raining just as I was about to leave. Went anyway, taking refreshments in case other hashers turned up. Arrived at Victoria Park around 15:45; sheltered from the weather and hung round until about half past, having a glass of Coke Zero on a bench at one point. There was a bowls match going on on the bowling green on which the hashpoint lay, so I chickened out with 20m or so to go. No one else showed, except for the bowlers and some academically-dressed folk coming from the Brangwyn Hall; the graduation ceremony of Swansea Metropolitan University was taking place.
Tracklog
