Expedition

Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.3605,1.2994 11:00, 14 July 2013 (GMT+01:00)

The hashpoint was 20km from home, so easily reached by car and on foot. There was a parking place less than 1km from the hashpoint. There were overgrown public footpaths to within 10 metres of the destination which was reached by crossing a dry but overgrown ditch. I chose not to walk the last few steps to avoid crop damage but there was no other barrier preventing access. I think this counts as "co-ordinates reached". The wheat crop looked fat and healthy and was beginning to ripen. The overgrown paths were full of grass seeds that stick to socks so I'll have a happy hour ahead picking out the seeds. It's all part of the fun.

Tracklog

My hand-held GPS receiver batteries went flat at the wrong moment but the hashpoint could still be located using my Android phone application.
