Thursday 16 April: Today's hashpoint is on a platform at Paddington station! (The furthest south-west platform, near where the roofed section ends.) Probably a large number of people will pass through this one, but will anyone plan to?
2009
- 15th March (Sunday): A friend of Benjw visited and took pictures on Saturday morning, a day early. Benjw then visited on Sunday, the correct day.
