"Early afternoon" didn't happen because we met old friends for a coffee at 1130 and ended up spending several hours with them.  (They were interested in the geohashing concept and seemed like potential future participants.)  So we got on the bus around 3:30 and arrived near the hashpoint around 4.

This one was a "no public access".  Many places that look like grassy fields in Scotland are accessible, but this one was fenced with wire in a way that clearly seemed to apply to people as well as livestock.  We walked up to the KFC at the north boundary, but the field was even less accessible from there (high walls and solid 2m fences).

Expedition

"Early afternoon" didn't happen because we met old friends for a coffee at 1130 and ended up spending several hours with them. (They were interested in the geohashing concept and seemed like potential future participants.) So we got on the bus around 3:30 and arrived near the hashpoint around 4.

This one was a "no public access". Many places that look like grassy fields in Scotland are accessible, but this one was fenced with wire in a way that clearly seemed to apply to people as well as livestock. We walked up to the KFC at the north boundary, but the field was even less accessible from there (high walls and solid 2m fences).
