Expedition
On Monday January 19th Sourcerer set out at 3am, drove 546 miles and attempted seven hashpoints in about 16 hours. Six were reached. This was success five.
I broke one of my life rules and actually paid to park the car. With Lyla on a lead, we set off for a walk around the centre of Boston.
In the car park behind the White Hart Hotel, the GPSr said I was within one metre but this quickly drifted back up to 5 metres while I was taking the photo. There was a very good view of the "Boston Stump" or more politely, the spire of St. Boltoph's Church. Across the river the Britannia pub was visible. I forgot to take my own photo so the one below came from Google Street View.
