Revision as of 04:48, 29 July 2013 by imported>Benjw (→Expeditions: typo)
In 2010, there were 27 expeditions undertaken by Benjw, MagicIan and Sourcerer. In the previous year there were only 19 so it's pleasing to see an increase in activity.
Expeditions
- 26 December 2010 (Sun): Sourcerer visited a deeply frozen field between Castle Acre and Lexham, north of Swaffham, Norfolk UK arriving at about 7.30 pm.
- 25 December 2010 (Sat): Sourcerer failed to reach a wetland with mature trees standing in pools of water covered with ice. West of Great Hockham, Norfolk, UK. It was the first hour of Christmas day.
- 28 November 2010 (Sun): Sourcerer visited a snowy wood of beech and oak, west of Snettisham, Norfolk UK, logged on Wikiloc
- 2 November 2010 (Tue): In a field north of Stansfield, Suffolk. Benjw was there at about 3:30pm.

- 28 October 2010 (Thu): In Thetford Forest. Benjw was there just after 4 pm, and enjoyed both the tranquility of the pine woodland, and a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner from the nearby RAF base.
- 20 October 2010 (Wed): Between woodland and a field, north of Bury St Edmunds. Benjw went, but couldn't get permission to access the point, despite local tenants egging him on.
- 12 October 2010 (Tue): In a field west of Soham. Benjw cycled a 27-mile round trip, along nearly every type of road and path known to man.
- 11 October 2010 (Mon): On the A14 just north of Newmarket. Benjw drove through the hashpoint at 8:39 pm.
- 2 October 2010 (Sat): On a public footpath outside Stretham, near Ely. Benjw arrived at about 6:30 pm and found a geocache a mere ten metres away.
- 1 October 2010 (Fri): Under a hedge in a field near Harston, south of Cambridge. Benjw visited, although it took two attempts to get the right spot.
- 24 September 2010 (Fri): A grassy area between two houses east of Boston, Lincolnshire. Sourcerer arrived 90 seconds before midnight and waited for the hashpoint to vanish. This was hash 5 of a pentahash taking in Canterbury, London East, London West, Northampton and the Cambridge graticules.
- 19 September 2010 (Sun): A conifer plantation between the Peddar's Way long distance footpath and Great Hockham, Norfolk. Sourcerer visited this spot. The GPS path is available at Wikiloc.
- 04 September 2010 (Sat): A sugar beet field east of Royston. Sourcerer visited this spot. It was the fourth point of a quad-hash covering Hull, Skegness, Northampton and Cambridge.
