- Arrived. Underpants wade needed for zeroing in! -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.6821,1.7182 09:17, 11 May 2015 (GMT+01:00)
Two couples walking their dogs witnessed the crazy fat man's antics. He was wobbling north along the beach at speed looking as if he was going to miss a train. Suddenly he turned right and at the water's edge he cursed. He retreated a few steps and started stripping off. In kecks and tee shirt he waded out to sea with tech toys in each hand where he staggered left, right, deeper and more shallow. After an minute or two he came ashore, dressed and strolled slowly and calmly away with a big grin, ear to ear.
Why the rush? Low tide was 30 minutes earlier and this would not have been possible at mid or high tide.
There was one curiosity. A small dog was walking calmly along the beach heading north. When it came level with the hashpoint, it went crazy, attacking the shallows and barking at the Google pin, visible only to dogs. I had left the water some time ago so it could not have been me. A trained hash-dog that finds the hashpoint would be a novelty!
