Location

In a field south east of Great Barton, near Bury St. Edmunds Suffolk, UK.

Plans

This is in a field and it's a good candidate for two hashpoints spanning midnight. The second is 2015-02-12 52 1. To arrive at the second point at midnight, the ETA for this one is 23:10 and departure from base should be 21:40. There will be no moon and dry cloudy weather is likely so it'll be very dark.

Expedition

I think the GeohashDroid server clock is 6 to 8 minutes slow compared with super-accurate SatNav time. This hashpoint was easier than expected. There was dry parking, off-road. The access to the field was quite dry too. I was expecting it to be seriously dark with no moon but the sugar-beet factory at Bury St. Edmunds was lighting up the low clouds and the terrain could be seen easily without a torch. The field perimeters were easy to walk on and closer to the hashpoint there was a useful tractor track right up to the destination.
