Location
A field, ploughed with straw, just south of the A14. The hashpoint was a few metres off a very convenient concrete path.
Participants
Plans
There were no plans. We realised the hashpoint was very close, and we wanted to get there at 4pm, so we had about 90 minutes to spare. We packed a picnic and lept into action.
Expedition
A day which was to be a trip to the local park turned into an expedition as we realised how close the hashpoint was to where we were (about 5km). We packed a box (the 'Emergency Fun Box') with a picnic, grabbed a football and, after a brief stop at the park, headed off to a small road, past the Felix Hotel, and parked up to follow a public footpath through some trees to the field. We arrived at 15:45, and left at about 16:30.
