I had found from the maps that the site was opposite a fence on the other side of the road. I parked opposite the fence, and found that there was a discrepancy between my map-calculated site and the GPS... of 7 paces.

The fence into the field can be seen in one picture; it is a double fence, announcing that it is part of the adjacent military firing range and that trespassing is not a good idea. The second fence is electrified. So, I did not go in. I was within about 25m of the hash point.

I took pictures at the site then went shopping.
