Location

Just off a track by the side of a field near the village of Therfield.

Participants

Tongs (talk) - 4 people this time.

Plans

We were aware of the doublehash, but didn't decide to go for it until we'd got to the hashpoint in the Cambridge graticule, just over the meridian.

Expedition

Arriving back in the car for the drive between the two points, we realised there was no mobile signal, and therefore no Google Maps to guide us. M did a great job of using the GPS receiver to guide F all 8km of the way to a road beside a field. We ventured into it and found the point within a minute, at around 16:50. Stopping to get evidence for a few minutes, we noticed a nearby wood.

Everyone bounded off there, but found it was full of stingers. Instead we walked along a track for a while, and happened upon a rifle range, which looked like it had been dug into the hillside. We turned around and walked along a nice wooded path up a dried-out stream, back to the road and to the car.
