Revision as of 01:57, 11 February 2017

Location

West of the dry ski slopes, south of Ipswich, Suffolk, UK.

Participants

Plans

Two of two spanning midnight 2017-02-10 52 1 - 2017-02-11 52 1 - ETA 00:00.

Expedition

This was easy enough but I managed to take a wrong turning and did a bit more driving than really necessary. There was a place to park near the top of the ski slopes. The road was gated for cars but open for cyclists and walkers. This led to a public footpath. There was access to the field over a low wire. Tractor tracks led to the hashpoint.

It was still snowing and the cloud was even lower. At Mendlesham on the route home, the TV mast was shrouded in low cloud and only the bottom two sets of lights could be seen. The top three were completely hidden. So much for lunar eclipse spotting.
