Location

In a small patch of woodland north of Roughton Road railway station, Cromer, Norfolk, UK.

Participants

Expedition

Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.9180,1.3020 09:21, 31 May 2014 (EDT)

This looked reachable. The weather was OK. It was the weekend. No brainer. Go and have a look. It was easily reached up a bank covered in thorny brambles.

There was one curiosity. My Garmin GPSr disagreed by 10 metres with my HTC phone GPSr. I wonder if this is because only five digits are allowed after the decimal point when setting latitude and longitude. Maybe I miss-keyed a digit. I went to both spots though so it's not a problem.

The woodland tracks I used were not on Open Street Map so I added them along with an undersized soccer pitch.
