Plans

This one and Sunday's are very close so I'll try to get to both of them at around 4pm. However, it looks like it isn't public access so I may not reach it.

Expedition

Departed around 15.30 and cycled down to the Exe River. Cycled downstream between the river and the canal. Crossed the river and continued on to the top of the Exe Estuary before turning northeast in Topsham. Reached the the geohash was on at around 4.40, much later than originally intended. I was prevented from reaching the geohash as it was on private property. However, I was able to get within sight of the geohash by a path around a neighbouring field; the closest I could get was 120m. While searching for a way to get closer to the geohash I encountered a pheasant. Cycled home, returning around 18.10.

Photos and elaboration to follow.
