Expedition

I travelled by car to Willoughby, and then walked out on the footpath around 15:40. The target was in a grass field with a couple of horses, so I wandered down the field to the exact hashpoint, or as close as my GPS would detect, anyway. It seems to be very reluctant to change the displayed coordinates if you only move a meter or two, even if the HDoP is less than a meter. I got the photo to the nearest arc-second, anyway.
