Location
In a roadside field corner near Blandford Forum
This seems to have a good chance of being a pub hash too, given that the Charlton Inn is nearby. :) I suggest that anyone wishing to join me/us meet in the car park of this pub, as it's a really short walk to the hash point. We could get dinner there too afterwards, probably :)
Participants
Plans
Macronencer - probably won't make it for 4pm unfortunately, as I double-booked with an afternoon barbecue! However, if anyone else is going, I might see them later (about 5 or 6pm at the earliest, possibly 7). At least the rain is supposed to stop by then!
04housemat & Mahahahaneapneap - probably get there for 1930, cycling from fleetsbridge (poole). Matt doesn't finish work until 1830.
Expedition
We all made it! Reports and photos to follow later.

Our meeting point
The hash is over in the corner of that field

Pavements! Macronencer muses that he seems to be lucky with them!
There were lots of snails on the ground
Thought of using them for the XKCD sign, but they probably would have crawled away
Getting close now
Close enough. It's so near the edge of the field that it's within 10m on my GPS, so I call that a success.
Can see the pub from the hash point - pub hash!
Can also see someone's house. One reason not to trespass.
Bunnies!
Bunny!

Trash!
More trash. It was pretty messy there.
Picking a lot of trash up (we couldn't manage all of it, didn't have a bag)

Lovely cows!
Very friendly
Pub hash drinkies
Ah, how very civilized.
We think the pub had raptors in a cage, which they let out at night to clear the leftovers from the tables.
