Expedition

In deep twilight, Neil reached hashpoint four of a five point multihash. The 5.8 km walk to the hashpoint was through a small part of Thetford Forest. The moon had not yet risen so it became quite dark. The path skirted the boundary of the Center Parcs holiday centre. The site was fenced to prison camp standards. Inside it looked nice though, with chalets lit up for the evening.

After the holiday village, there was a stile giving access to a large field. In the field, there were quite a lot of bullocks (young male cows). They seemed quite nervous but kept clear of Neil's path. The hashpoint was near the further boundary of the field so the bullocks had to be negotiated twice. This was probably not dangerous. The only recent fatalities involving cows were all because mothers were protecting their young. Is there an award for getting youself killed whilst geohahsing? If you were silly enough, a Darwin award would be good.
