Location

In a field just outside Grays, Essex.

Participants

Huinesoron (talk)

Plans

Well, how can I not take a stab at this one? It's less than three miles from my house; that's practically an honorary Couch Potato!

Expedition

This turned out to be... exactly as easy as I thought it would be. I parked on the kerb opposite the entrance to the field, walked along the edge until I was lined up with the tree from Google Maps, and then paced the 50m across the stubble-filled field until I reached the hash.

The only real concern I had was that the ominous-looking four-wheel-drive vehicle sitting by the field might contain a mob of angry farmers with shotguns... but it didn't, so that was all right.

Photos

(Photos to come)

Achievements

Huinesoron (talk) earned the Consecutive geohash achievement

by reaching hash points on 2 consecutive days starting on 2015-08-22.
