Location

The geohash was in a wooded area very close to Bournemouth Airport. We were concerned that it may lie just inside the boundary to the airport.

Participants

Plans

Not much planning went into this. On the morning of the expedition, Corwin suggested it to Mahahahaneapneap, who then invited Blue Rise. Mahahahaneapneap wrote the co-ordinates on a piece of paper, and off we went.

Expedition

Corwin picked us both up and we drove a few miles to the geohash. We parked in the car park on Matchams Lane and completed the journey on foot. It was a very warm day, but the only people around were a couple of dog walkers. We found the co-ordinates fairly easily, and posed for photos using Blue Rise's new camera. The spot turned out not to be within the airport boundary, but it was fairly close.

I think the airport is behind those trees.
