It was time to go for a little hike again, so Rhonda's dad asked what the geohash point for the day was, and if it was accessible. We checked out a couple of possible routes on the computer to reach the point and thought that parking on Rose hill road and hiking from there would be the best way. We then decided to drive up Rose Hill road to get to Knutsford rather than take the highway. Once we reached the bend in the road that we figured we could hike from it turned out there wasn't a good place to park and there were fences between the road and the field. So on we went to the second access point. We took the Beresford road off the highway and went through an old abandoned barn yard. Just a short jaunt up the hill and we were there. The point itself was only about 7k from our house as the crow flies, but a little longer going by roads. | It was time to go for a little hike again, so Rhonda's dad asked what the geohash point for the day was, and if it was accessible.

It was time to go for a little hike again, so Rhonda's dad asked what the geohash point for the day was, and if it was accessible. We checked out a couple of possible routes on the computer to reach the point and thought that parking on Rose hill road and hiking from there would be the best way. We then decided to drive up Rose Hill road to get to Knutsford rather than take the highway. Once we reached the bend in the road that we figured we could hike from it turned out there wasn't a good place to park and there were fences between the road and the field. So on we went to the second access point. We took the Beresford road off the highway and went through an old abandoned barn yard. Just a short jaunt up the hill and we were there. The point itself was only about 7k from our house as the crow flies, but a little longer going by roads.
