Location

A field on a farm not far from Junction 6 of the M5, and even less far from the A38.

Participants

Expedition

I set off down the M5 on my bike (first ever time on a motorway on my bike - yay!). Upon reaching Junction 6 I left the motorway and headed for the A38. Eventually I found the farm the hash point was on, parked my bike in a layby on Strand Lane (to the south of the point) and went for a short walk on the farm towards the hash point. Seeing as I don't have a GPS device I had to guess where the spot was, but I can't have been far away. Walking back to the road from the hash point I was mildly concerned by some angry-looking horses, but they didn't prove to be a problem.
