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.

This was a beach geohash and could have been wonderful but the English weather was cool and dull. | [[User:Sourcerer|Sourcerer]] (Neil) visited this haspoint as it was close enough to the dog food shop he was visiting.
