Location

A road hashpoint south of the A47 near Wendling, Norfolk, UK.

Participants

Sourcerer MagicIan Neither knew the other was planning it.

Plans

Expedition one of two spanning midnight - 2015-11-12 52 0 - 2015-11-13 52 1 - ETA 23:15.

Expedition

Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.6691,.8565 23:08, 12 November 2015 (GMT)

Easy - no need to get out of the car!

This was a partly-opportunistic, partly-lazy GeoHash for MagicIan as he was due to be driving along the A47 anyway, so it was just a case of taking a 5 minute diversion to reach the hashpoint. MagicIan got out of the car to get as close as possible to the coordinates using the droid app and to take photos, then turned the car around and went back through the hashpoint at 60mph to gain the Speed Racer achievement.
