This hashpoint was on the grass verge by a small carpark next to a park in the southern outskirts of Leicester. Joehardflec had claimed he would get there 'around 4pm', so Benjw jumped at the chance to go to a hashpoint at which he would actually meet someone. In the end the hashpoint was easily reached, but Joe never showed up.
