Plans
KerrMcF - Expedition 1
I had been regularly checking the daily points whilst I was at Center Parcs to see if any would be accessible during my stay. After none of them had landed within the border for the resort, I decided to do the two accessible retrohashes. These would be easy-to-access points and would be done shortly before leaving the resort to drive back home. The second of these two expeditions is reported here and the first is linked below in the expedition section.
KerrMcF - Expedition 2
I'll be at Center Parcs again this May, and I think it makes sense to revisit this point to see if anything has changed. I'm not sure when in the holiday I will attempt this, but I definitely will. I'll probably also attempt the same first point as last time before this one, which will be linked in the expedition report.
Expedition
KerrMcF (Retro, 2024-01-05)
After reaching the first of our retro expeditions, my sister and I walked towards the second. This one was more accessible as it was located on the road leading into 62-71 Fell View. This walk was a little shorter and as such it was faster to get to than the first. There wasn't anything overly remarkable at this point; most of the activity surrounding it was the housekeeping team preparing the accommodation for the arriving guests. We then left this point and walked to the car park on the other side of the resort, beginning the drive home a few minutes later.

My sister and I had some spare time in the early afternoon for a walk, during which we decided to revisit the retrohashes from before. We reached this geohash at around 3:30pm after previously reaching 2011-04-07 54 -2, and it looked quite similar to the last time we were there. The point was as easy to reach as last time, and we had no issues in getting there.
We left the point and headed back to our accommodation.
