Location
In a small field adjacent to Trent Road, Stone.
Participants
Plans
I will be passing through Stone at about 2pm-3pm on Sunday, so I'll take a few hundred metres' detour and see if I can get to the hashpoint. Looking at the inactivity of this graticule, I'm not expecting any meetups, but if someone wants to, please leave a message and I'll be more exact about the time.
I'm not sure if this is public land, or someone's garden, or what, but got some help from PaintedJaguar:
- It's hard to make out from Google Maps Street View whether this is someone's back garden or not. I think it probably is, so I'm not sure this is going to work. Can any more experienced geohashers determine whether this is a field or a garden? Tongs (talk) 12:39, 6 November 2015 (EST)
- If you switch to Google satellite view and zoom in, it looks to me like there is a reasonably well-used path running along the north-eastern edge of the field, behind the gardens of the houses on Newcastle Road. OpenStreetMap also suggests a footpath there. Based on that, I'd be willing to take a guess that the hashpoint is in a field, rather than a garden, and is reachable from the path.
