Location

Towpath alongside the Lancaster Canal.

Participants

Dan Q & Robin (dragalong)

Plans

I (Dan Q) am driving my partner's brother Robin from near Oxford to near Penrith on this day, so I expect to pass close by this geohashpoint on the M6 twice; at around 13:00 going North then about 15:00 going South. It looks like there's on-street parking on nearby Ashford Avenue (N 54° 1.71', W 2° 48.370'), so I'm thinking we can pull over there, walk to Deep Cutting Bridge, follow a path about 700m Northwest down into the canal cutting, then follow the canal back Southeast to the hashpoint. Robin's never been geohashing before, so we'll see what he makes of it.

The biggest risks to this plan are likely to be (a) if we run late setting off, hit traffic, or are otherwise delayed then we may have to cancel our plans in order to stay on-schedule, and (b) based on local photos it looks like the towpath floods and/or gets incredibly boggy in wet weather!

Expedition
