Plans
This looks like a pretty little nature reserve, and in easy walking distance of the Park and Ride. I'm thinking of going for a walk to explore it after work, just before sunset, so something like 5pm or 6pm. I'm quite flexible with times, though, so if anyone wants to come along, I can probably meet you, if you'd like that.
Other Tongs are unlikely to be able to make it.
Update: I'm heading out in a bit (around 5pm), so I should be around there at 6pm or just before.
Expedition
Only a few miles from my house, the hash point was easy to get to because it was a short walk from Babraham Road Park and Ride. This expedition was one of those that make you realise why you’re geohashing in the first place, because the nature reserve was one of those hidden-away, beautiful little places.
The journey was easy. I caught the bus from the station and walked out of the side exit of the Park and Ride and along a road with altogether too little room at the sides. I could walk over nettles and straight into the field, which had been ploughed and seeded with grass. Finding the point was easy - I got to it just before 6pm as planned.
Continuing in the same direction, I found a little path which led to the Beechwoods reserve. Nobody else was there and I wandered among the trees. They looked particularly nice at sunset. I did a few laps of the reserve, along different paths, and went back along the path to the Park and Ride. I think I’ll go back there one day with a picnic.
