Sourcerer (Neil) visited this haspoint as it was close enough to the dog food shop he was visiting. With a 15kg bag of Turkey and Rice Kibble in the boot, he drove north to Winterton passing a signpost to California. He got to within 14 metres of the exact point and was well inside the circle of uncertainty of his GPS receiver. The terrain was uneven waste land covered in tall vegetation and nettles. The site differed from the Google Earth image which showed marine sand dunes merging into dry land vegetation. In reality, there were new houses, not yet occupied, and new holiday chalets. This was a beach geohash and could have been wonderful but the English weather was cool and dull.
