Excellent news! [[Geohashing Day]] 2017 falls on a Sunday. It's never too early to start planning, so, given the unequivocal success of [[2016-05-21_52_0|the last one]], we begin thinking about next year's.

Expedition

Sourcerer and ChromeCrusaders arrived a few minutes apart just before 17:00. There was parking at the field entrance and a perimeter path led to the hashpoint without treading on the crop of oil seed rape. There were fine looking cows in the next field. Less than ten paces from the hashpoint, a swarm of bees was buzzing loudly, clustered round the low branches of a bramble. This was Sourcerer's second swarm sighting in four days - quite unusual.

After admiring the bees, cows and rape plants, we took photos and set out for the pub. Callum had not brought cash and there was a ten pound card limit so Neil, under protest, bought his drink. After some consultancy work in return for a pint or two (Neil's standard fee!) this has become a sore point. Revenge will be mine when the opportunity arises!

We missed the Tongs who would have had a journey of over seven hours. Perhaps the tenth anniversary event, next year, will work out better.
