Expedition

Kim noticed the hash location was close to one of her regular cycling routes south from Birmingham.

I set off on a slightly more direct route than usual, in an attempt to arrive at the hash while there was still a decent amount of daylight. The public footpath was easily reached by bike. I then continued down the path on foot, lifting the bike over a style to reach the hash location. Uneven ground, nettles, brambles and a heavy bike made reaching the exact location tricky, but I successfully located the hashpoint without any nettle or p*nct*re incidents.
