On 2008-05-24, in the Sheffield (53,-1) graticule, attendance was in single-figures, even in binary.

This hash location was in the Derbyshire Dales, in the hills above Matlock Bath.

The "Heights of Abraham" cable car was on the other side of the dale.

Riber Castle is also nearby, but that's another story.

Some approaches to the location were blocked by nasty signs.

A game of Cricket.

Stinging nettles made me decide that it wasn't important to get to the exact coordinates!

This metal shed is the nearest building to the point. You can see it on Google Earth.

This out-of-focus (sorry) shot shows the remains of the abandoned poly-tunnel greenhouses that can also be seen on the aerial photos. The whole area is pretty overgrown.

The coordinates are about five or ten metres behind me and to my right, perhaps in line with the stone gate-post.

In total I cycled 57 miles (92km) this afternoon. The sides of the dales are quite steep!

In Matlock Bath there were hundreds of weekend bikers.

I stopped for Fish, Chips and a pint of bitter-shandy. The pint was nice, but I could feel it sloshing about all the way back to Nottingham.
