Arrived. -- Sourcerer @52.3125,-1.6909 13:11, 09 August 2012 (GMT+01:00)

Neil was geohashing on the way to a wedding in Scotland. This was attempt three of five. The hashpoint was in a field 2.4 km from Hatton, on the Grand Union Canal. It is worth Googling for images of the flight of canal locks at Hatton. Finding a parking place was not easy. The road was in a narrow cutting with no verges. Neil parked illegally blocking the rear access to someone's garden. He was only away from the car for a few minutes and no one was inconvenienced. The hashpoint was a few metres off a public footpath. This was lucky as the friendly farmer was turning the hay harvest and a trespass would not have beeen a good idea.
