Location
A field of frisky cows not far off the A53 from Market Drayton to Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire UK.
Participants
Sourcerer plus drag-along friends Will and Will of Beer and Curry fame.
Expedition
There was a folk music, beer and cider festival in Newcastle under Lyme competing with the geohash but Sourcerer (Neil) managed to drag Will and Will to the hashpoint. This was in a field of cows. The livestock only became visible after reaching the crest of the small hill. Neil was not too phased. Only one or two people are killed by cows each year and almost always there was a pet dog involved in the incident. Lacking a dog the risk was negligible so Neil happily logged the message below while Mike and Jane were fleeing the approaching cows. The cows never bothered to complete their approach as Neil totally ignored them. They lost interest.
At the folk music and beer festival there was a black beer called "Dark Arts". This was most delicious and with 6% alcohol it didn't take much to greatly improve the mood of the day, Some of the music was excellent and it was a pleasing afternoon without too many ill effects afterwards.
