Location

Beside the Lancaster canal, on the path. An easy place to reach.

Participants

Just Angel today.

Plans

Get up early, walk up the canal, then back into town for lunch. Maybe go out again later in case other people arrive at Meetup Time.

Expedition

Feeling sick, feeling dizzy. This should have been an easy one, but having only just got out of bed makes it a challenge. -- Angel (talk) @54.0311,-2.7943 10:59, 14 February 2015 (EST)
Finally left the house at some time after 3, I think.
Reached the hash around sunset. Massive construction works, they're building a bridge over the canal right at the hash point.
A good omen at last: the canal path has a wiggly detour, but comes within range of the hash!
Tried to go back by road, there's a path across the site, but the gate onto the road was padlocked. So ended up needing to use my phone as a torch to make sure I didn't fall in the canal on the way home.

Tracklog

Endomondo tracklog from my phone

Photos

View from the hash... as far as I can tell, the exact point might be here, or might be on the closed part of the path
10 feet away; best I can get @54.0697,-2.8113
@54.0697,-2.8111
270 feet away, a diversion sign. Thought I'd failed! @54.0693,-2.8103
@54.0693,-2.8103
@54.0693,-2.8103
I guess this is where the new motorway is going to cross the canal :S @54.0690,-2.8092

Achievements

Angel earned the Walk geohash Achievement

by reaching the (54, -2) geohash on 2015-02-14 on foot.

And, as proved by An Endomondo tracklog (There's a break between the two tracklogs that day because my phone crashed, and I think the hash might be in the gap… I've walked that way plenty of times before, but that's the first tracklog I managed to find)

Angel earned the Déjà Vu Geohash Achievement

by reaching the (54, -2) geohash on 2015-02-14, and previously on 2013-02-03.
