Location

A green space near the River Lee navigation and cycleway in Enfield.

On Google Street View [1], looks like this is a public park called Ramney Marsh, but I can't find any reference to rights of way, etc. in either Ordnance Survey or OpenStreetMap. Oh well, I'll just go for it! I should be able to reach S Ordnance Road, follow the footpath by the channel for 200m, then enter the green space heading WNW then N. Hopefully I'll be able to see the footbridge through the trees, bearing 085, and the junction of paths, bearing 180.

It's also within a few hundred metres (as the crow flies...) of the neighbouring graticule's hashpoint 2013-05-12 51 0. Of course, I'm not a crow, and there are the small problems of a river, a side-channel, several hedges and the M25 motorway in between... As Huinesoron said, "Gotta love that Prime Meridian!"

-The middle of a field sandwiched between the M25 motorway and A121 road in Enfield. I'm going to try this as a double at around noon after [[2013-05-12 52 -0]].
+A green space near the River Lee navigation and cycleway in Enfield.
-Ordnance Survey shows a public footpath cutting across the field, about 200m from hashpoint. Google maps [https://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:(51.677885,0.014119)] makes it looks like getting from one hashpoint to another won't be trivial, with a 2.5 mile diversion to find a bridge that doesn't only carry the M25 or a series of pipes...

Given that I'll be using my off-road bike, that shouldn't be too bad. (I'll try to be a naughty but considerate cyclist, getting off my bike when I'm away from bridleways and other people are around.) I should be able to follow the footpath along the W side of the Lee, then across the A121 bridge, roads to Lodge Lane, S out of the estate on the footpath, then E across the field until I reach the internal corner of the field, bearing 300, and the left-hand of the two isolated trees, bearing 050.
