A bit blurry

This is the closest that I managed to photograph

Made it!

Aerial view

I made 3 "visits" to the site today. The first was on my way to work. I probably passed within a metre or two while driving, at 5am.

After work, I flew some circuits with my dad, and the site was pretty much exactly under the circuit.

Finally, after the flying, I took my dad to the site by car. We parked in a nearby car park (to the right of the cropped aerial photo) shortly after 4pm, and used his HTC Hero to find our way.

d7415 earned the Air geohash achievement by reaching the (49, -2) geohash on 2010-02-21 by Cessna 172, attaining the rank of Pilot.
