Location
A field in Wiltshire, just north of Salisbury and the ancient fortification of Old Sarum, just south of the even more ancient monument Stonehenge.
Participants
Plans
I drove up for an airshow nearby where I hoped to see XH558, the world's last flying Vulcan bomber, on her final flight ever down south. Noticing this was just a couple of kilometres away... "how hard could it be?"
Expedition
Followed Google Maps as close as I could to the lat/long point, where I noticed three things as the hashpoint zipped past on my left: a), nowhere to stop the car on a fast road; b), some pretty big hedges
Drove around to a small English country lane, eventually parked up and started walking along a public footpath. Across a pig farm!
Eventually lost track of the path, started following my nose (and GPS app) across two fields... (more to follow)
