Location

Parkhouse Road, Barrow-in-Furness.

The road is "busy" for what looks like a minor country road, and because it joins two parts of the town it does get used as a short-cut. I know, I've done it myself.

Plans

I am planning to cycle to the hash, with an attempt on the TRON award for the entire journey.

Expedition

A text-book geohashing expedition. I cycled to the meet-up point, saw there was plenty of passing traffic, but nobody else seemed like they were from the internet.

I captured a few images, and left, being careful to not cross my track on the way back.
