About

This one's near a little country lane -sort of- on the way to chester. But looks to be on the edge of a field (as usual it seems). Not particularly far off the A51.

Planned Expeditions

Styles

It's going to be a night run. Should be interesting if I can find my first ever geohash, and in the dark too.

• Pick up a couple of friends around 8 from Northwich.
• Drive as close as possible (thank you google maps!) without getting lost within the country lanes.
• Look for opportunities to get to the geohash location and if we find it, take photos etc.

Expeditions

Styles

Left a little bit later than I intended. Some how managed to talk my friends into doing this geohashing.

• Took a wrong turn down a country lane. Google maps strike again.
• Managed to locate a route into the field with the geohash location.
• The field was damp underfoot and almost ruined my trainers.
• Eventually found the spot using my phone's gps maping.

• 

  I trust my GPS on my phone that well, this image helped when using my phone GPS.

• 

  My with a few friends by the tree, where the geohash location was.

• 

  The indecicive GPS on my phone, but we made it.

Styles earned the Drag-along achievement by reaching the (53, -2) geohash on 2008-10-17.
