Location

In a field near a pool between Sotherton and Brampton, Sufolk, UK.

Participants

Sourcerer

Expedition

This was 10 km from home and easily reached. The hashpoint access was along two sides of a field with wide margins containing pheasant feeders and long grass cover. Then there was another pool, very similar to one a few days ago. Some of these pools may have been made in olden times to provide drinking for livestock. Some are more recent. During world war two, aricraft sometimes got disoriented and dropped bombs in completely the wrong place. These made craters similar in size to today's pool. From here it was twenty paces into a ploughed field. Tonight it was much darker. The full moon had gone and the waning orb does not rise so early in the night.

Sadly the Norwich hashpoints for the next two days fall in the North sea. The Cambridge points don't look too inviting. One might be a pig farm and the other is in a drainage ditch.
