Location

On a minor road east of Little Chesterford, near Cambridge, UK.

Participants

The Expedition

Sourcerer

WooHoo! After 37 lonely expeditions, Sourcerer finally got to meet another Geohasher on outing 38. Thank you Benjw for making an early Sunday start to make this possible. Sourcerer, Neil was flying from London Luton to Nîmes, France today and this hashpoint added only 7 miles to the 1297 km Journey. Sorry about the mixed units. It was a drive-through geohash making the Speed Racer achievement possible. We met at about 07:50 am hung around long enough to take some photos.

Sadly the Sunday and Monday hashpoints in Nîmes, France are both in the sea! The good news is the hotel WiFi works well enough to check out the future days.

Benjw

Ben will aim to be there at some point during the day. This will be 8am if a meetup is feasible, and may well be some time in the earlyish morning even if it isn't, as he has other stuff to do.
