Plans

I've got an exam in Milton Keynes in the afternoon, so it'd be only a minor diversion for me to come and try to visit this roadside hashpoint. I hope to be there about 10:30.

Expedition

Failed to turn on the tracklogger on my GPS, but I remembered to get photos at least. This was a quick and easy run, although I did get accosted by a local who saw me hanging around near the wind farm and putting up a sign... I think that after the controversy these epic windmills caused he might have thought that I was putting up a planning notice to erect some more or something. Once I explained what I was doing he seemed happy enough.

Used my new 360° full-panoramic camera to take a picture at the hashpoint; DanQ (talk)I'll put a VR-ready version on my website and link it here when I get the chance.DanQ (talk) you can view it at https://danq.me/2018/10/16/geohashing-expedition-2018-10-16-52-0/.
