Location

In a farmer's field north-east of Moira, on the border between Leicestershire and Derbyshire, UK.

Participants

Plans

Aiming for a 4pm meetup. Bring a towel. This will be my first hash with my new phone, and also my longest return bike journey, so there's plenty of potential for disaster. Fans of chaos should probably attend.

A toast! Quiet! Shut up! I'm ah, I got words. I'm saying. This is an auspicious day. We all know what day it is.
- What's auspicious? What day is it?
A glorious day for all the proud members of the allied planets. #towelday and #mouseoverday

Expedition

Well, the good news is I got there. But two punctures on the way didn't help - and it turns out 30 miles up and down hills takes a lot longer than 30 miles on the flat. Yeah, I know, that's kind of obvious, right? So I got there late for the meetup. Not that anyone else turned up. A nice man in the neighbouring cottage directed me into the right field, and I got as close as the newly-planted growing crop would allow. I'm calling it a success.

Tracklog

I've put the route to the geohash on Strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/56247197
