Expedition
My pigeon brain failed. This is the bit responsible for homing and navigation. Of course this was inherited from a common ancestor, probably marine and not in direct line from a pigeon. So a most inefficient route was followed, arriving 50 minutes later than planned. There was tall wet vegetation for most of the route. I could hardly have got wetter by wading a waste deep stream.
Approach one from the north was potentially successful but over 100 metres of crop trampling would have been needed. Abort!
Approach two through a recreation ground with children's swings and slides and soccer goal posts also led to the correct field. A bushwhack through head high nettles and brambles led into the field. A wet perimeter path led close to the hashpoint. There were multiple tractor tracks where crop sprayers had negotiated a path round what might have been a world-war-two bomb crater. These led to the hashpoint. Several more craters can be seen in the Google Earth Image.
With 15 minutes to spare before my GPSr turned back into a pumpkin, success!
