Location

On a field boundary halfway between Melton Mowbray, famous for pork pies and Grantham, famous as the birth place of Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first woman prime minister. Mmmmmm - pie!

Expedition

Arrived. -- Sourcerer @52.8422,-.7904 14:00, 04 November 2012 (GMT)

This was attempt two of three on this day. Neil was returning from one of his beer and curry themed visits to good friends in Staffordshire. This expedition needed a soggy kilometre of walking from a suitable parking place. There was light rain. The hashpoint was on the edge of a field, close to a bin full of pheasant feed. These birds, far more stupid than hens, are raised from factory farmed chicks and fattened up ready for shooting parties in the autumn.
