Not certain, but might be able to make this one!
Expedition
The dog and I drove out to Ducklington, parking near the church, and walked out to these fields. Unfortunately the hashpoint turns out to be 33+ metres into a field full of sheep. That _might've_ been the kind of trespassing I'd have been willing to consider, were it not for the combination of the amount of pedestrian traffic (a whole platoon of birdwatchers, armed with extra-long camera lenses, and every dog walker under the sun!) and the fact that I had the dog with me (who'd have to have waited unhappily outside the field: not taking her _into_ a field of sheep, even by only 33 metres).
Instead, then, we took a pleasant walk around Ducklington and found the GC656RM "Church Micro 8564...Ducklington" geocache, so it wasn't entirely a wasted trip. The dog's come home and zonked out in her basket after a decent walk, anwyay!
