Location

Skelmanthorpe, near Huddersfield. Just under 7 metres from an unmarked road off Shelley Woodhouse Lane, near Shelley High School & College.

Participants

• amc (with tgr)
• myka (with possibly Fergus)

Plans

Marker-sign to be placed near the hashpoint.

I'll be on the 10:40am Transpennine Express train from Leeds if anyone wants to join me there instead.

• Meet at Huddersfield rail station at 11:00am (plus or minus Train Delay Modifier), on the outside of the ticket gates. Wear something xkcd or Geohashing-related if you want to be recognised - if you want to recognise me, look for tgr. And don't be embarrassed: it's my first expedition too...
• Head out to the hash by public transport, probably the 11:28 number 81 from K3 Lord Street; even if someone with a car wants to come, it seems a shame to drive when there are buses so nearby! That gets us to Shelley High School for 12:00. Get off one stop after before. Bus stop's location is 53.5949, -1.6710 - so we won't miss it!
• Walk to the hashpoint.
• Even if entering the field is a problem, we should be able to get within the requisite 10m radius of the hashpoint without leaving the road.
• Create a non-permanent marker and put up a sign if possible.
• Head back to Huddersfield rail station for coffee with anyone who wants it :)

Expedition

The algorithm is on our side so far. The train from Leeds was not just on time, but managed to arrive early! in the UK!

We also managed to find our bus pulling up as we arrived at the stop in Huddersfield. --mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] 06:21, 27 January 2011 (EST) (manualy posting on route since the hashdroid is being sad at me)
