Plans

Expedition one of two spanning midnight - 2015-12-03 52 1 - 2015-12-04 52 1 - ETA 23:05.

Google satellite and street views suggest this might be private and well fenced for horses so access is doubtful.

Expedition

I set out early to get fuel before the pump closed at 10pm so I was 25 minutes ahead of schedule at this hashpoint.

Never give up on a hashpoint. The copse was not fenced. Often a patch of woodland like this is so wet, the land can not be put to any other use. This wood was quite dry but full of tall nettles, thankfully nearly dead with the oncoming winter. There were many rotting branches on the ground so care was needed. The GPS signal was very unstable with a weather front approaching. The patchy signal and fallen branches explain my drunken approach. In the end, I stood still and waited for the signal-drift to give an acceptable distance to the hashpoint. There was very light rain with a stiff breeze and the temperature was about 10 C.

I added the footpath opposite this hashpoint to Open Street Map.
