Location

The hash was located well into MoD red flagged land.

Participants

Jand

Expedition

Knowing the area fairly well, as the road near the hash was my route to work for a while earlier in the year, I knew the hash would be in restricted area, but hey, a consolation prize is still a prize, so I set off after work to Lopcombe Corner, a fork in the road and the point nearest to the hash that it was safe to get to. Pictures taken, I headed home.

However, today is by no means a loss, as I have made contact with two of my fellow geohashers, User:Sermoa and User:Macronencer, through the magical medium of twitter, so it looks like my lonely geohashing days are over :P .

Quite a good day all round.

Jand earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (51, -1) geohash on 2012-06-03.

-Oh, by the way, I'm not sure if the hash is in MoD land, so if it is, I propose the alternate meetup for the hash to be Lopcombe corner itself, ie just meet at 7:00 and then don't go and annoy the heavily armed men ;).
