On Monday January 19th Sourcerer set out at 3am, drove 546 miles and attempted seven hashpoints in about 16 hours. Six were reached. This was the second success.
It took only 40 minutes to move from 50, 0 to 50, -0 by road and on foot. The hashpoints were only 3.5 km apart, centered on the Grenwich Meridian.
There was a convenient public car park. All but one of the access paths were flooded. The only dry route was chosen. The common land was grass, gorse and birch trees. Wild sheep were spotted on the return walk. My hash-bitch Lyla rarely dislikes a walk. Today she was afraid of the aircraft noise (near Gatwick) and she didn't like it when the puddle ice broke and she fell through getting a cold wet foot. It was way too early in the morning and I had trouble doing a limbo dance under a gate. On the return walk I realised that you only needed to lift the bar and you could walk through without bending down. Plink - there goes another marble.
