Location

A roadside hashpoint close to North Walsham railway station, Norfolk, UK.

Participants

Expedition

Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.8153,1.3811 20:00, 06 March 2014 (GMT)

A detour after work lead to this hashpoint. It was a clear night with a waxing moon and driving conditions were good. Sadly this did not prevent a small deer from walking straight into my path. There was no time to brake and the poor creature got hit at 80 km/h. It was a perfect head on collision so there would have been no suffering. On a previous expedition I awarded myself the gratuitous "Bambihash" for deer spotting so today, with regret, I get the Bambimash.

The hashpoint was in the front yard of a house in North Walsham. There was a convenient wall to balance the GPSR for the evidence photo. The manure photo is also clearly visible on Google street view. Manure hashes are an amusing feature of rural geohashing.
