Location

A field on the outskirts of Banwell, North Somerset.

Report

Bluecont, Goldcont and 414e54484f4e5942 decided to have an impromptu adventure! Seeing that today's hash was close by and readily accessible: we went.

We parked on a major road nearby, and had a small walk to the spot itself. Lacking a hand-held GPS system we had to determine our location using a compass and a map! We found a field and a stile, which was very exciting! We then took photographic evidence and left.

On the way back we were (possibly) interrogated by some curious cows.
