Location

Literally right outside the front door of the Belfry Hotel, Cambourne. Wow -- this could not be more accessible.

Participants

Benjw

Plans

Benjw plans to cycle to the hashpoint from home (north-east Cambridge), via the Cambridge graticule hashpoint near Madingley, and back home again. This will happen at an as-yet-undecided time in the afternoon -- depending on what time he can get home from work, and whether any other geohashers are intending to come -- but probably between 2 and 4pm.

zhukant is jealous of your Prime Meridian hax. That would never happen in Portland!

I know -- I'm lucky enough to get easy double hashes every so often (my quickest is 12 minutes 40 seconds between hashpoints). But I do pay for this at other times when both my nearest graticules have hashes in the furthest corner. Nice work in Portland over the weekend, by the way! — Benjw _{talk} 02:16, 26 February 2014 (EST)

Expedition

The expedition never happened, unfortunately. A combination of a truly awful day at work, illness, bad weather in the afternoon and an orchestra rehearsal meant that I just didn't have time.
