Expedition
Sourcerer, Neil chased the setting sickle moon into the west as the daylight slowly faded. There was a small layby about 300 metres from the hashpoint and a disused road led in the right direction. Bats were flying and owls could be heard in the distance. A short walk into the golf course led past a green and across the fairway into light rough. The club house was a few hundred metres away and looked welcoming. The course was deserted because it was nearly dark. The GPS receiver distance-to-destination measurement dropped to 1 metre. Neil walked in a small circle but the distance never went below 1 metre. The evening calm was shattered by sirens. It was the railway level crossing. A three car diesel multiple unit train was labouring up hill heading towards Halesworth and Beccles.
This expedition had a bit more spice than usual because, unusually, the Google Earth view was covered in cloud. There was a greater element of surprise. Tomorrow's hash is interesting too. It's in the grounds of Banham Zoo and perhaps the hashpoint is in a tiger enclosure. Sadly, Neil has to work and will not find out.
