Location
The hashpoint for today is in the wood near a golf course by Marple. I believe it's within the borders of the Roman Lakes Leisure Park. No admission fee, so no Admit One achievement. There are streams in the area, but there seems to be a bit of the path on the right side of the streams to reach the hashpoint.
Participants
Plans
KarMann is going to catch a bus to get there around 13:50, but the last couple of hundred metres may be treacherous.
Photos & Video
Not an auspicious start. I forgot to bring the SD card for my camera. It and the tripod are now just dead weight I'm going to have to lug around with me.
But this does look rather nice. This just might be a lovely walk in the woods today.
Oh my. That stream does look rather swollen and rough, doesn't it?
Are you sure there isn't a 'my kingdom for a horse' consolation prize? Not even anything about battery staples?
Uh oh. They have
geesedinosaurs guarding the hashpoint.
OK, I guess I won't be reaching the hashpoint that way. Still, there are plenty of other ways around to it, right?
So this is as close as I'm getting this way. And, as it would turn out, any way.
So that stream is right between me and the hashpoint. And the path to the left is also blocked off. But there must be some way over or around it, right?
Perhaps this is a conveniently located portal to the hashpoint?
No, that's definitely a dead end.
There's only one way back and out from here. I'll see where I can go from there.
I'm not exactly getting closer, am I?
At last! A way over this bit of the stream!
Which brings me to this. Oh, joy.
There might be gaiters! I may not have been prepared for the worst, but at least I was prepared for the worse.
