Revision as of 06:39, 20 January 2015

Location

In a field of winter wheat, east of the A10 trunk road, between Buckland and Chipping, Hertfordshire, UK.

Participants

Plans

If successful, this will be hashpoint 4 of 7 today. --Sourcerer (talk) 10:25, 18 January 2015 (EST)

Expedition

On Monday January 19th Sourcerer set out at 3am, drove 546 miles and attempted seven hashpoints in about 16 hours. Six were reached. This was the third success.

There was no 3G access so my attempt to upload my "Arrived." message failed.

I found a place to park without obstructing the main road and walked a short way to the wheat field hashpoint. Tractor tracks were used to avoid stepping on the newly germinated crop. There was a light dusting of snow which had melted in the sunny spots.
