Expedition

Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.5239,-1.7271 13:12, 14 April 2013 (GMT+01:00)

This was success two of five attempts today. After a weekend of beer and curry with good friends, the journey home crossed five graticules. The winter weather had finally given way to April sun with gusty winds but it was much warmer and pleasant to be out and about. This hashpoint was on a riverside public footpath. Sadly it was litter strewn and looked unloved. The M6 Toll road towered above the footpath and dominated the scene. The river and bridge were nice though.
