Sat 26 May 2018 in Northampton:

Location

A roadside point a mile south of Royston railway station, Hertfordshire, UK.

The link from the map to the right appears to be broken and linking to the wrong hashpoint!

From Sourcerer's description I think we're going for (52.041354154131255, -0.02031179801003233).

carabiner.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html is broken too. It fails to retrieve the DOW.

Participants

Plans

Visit at 4pm unless we agree a different time on the discussion page. I'll bring my 2 metre rig and listen on 145.5 MHz.

Expedition

Sourcerer set out by car at 13:30 expecting a two hour journey avoiding the popular air show at Duxford. The traffic was surprisingly light for a bank holiday long weekend. The evidence photo was snapped at 15:21. Both Sourcerer and Tongs/B are licensed radio amateurs and we were able to talk by radio on 145.5 MHz as Tongs/B made his approach 15 minutes later. We then sat on a grassy bank beside the hashpoint and chatted for a while giving time for anyone else to show up, No one else did though. We fear the hobby is dieing out. User:Randall needs to do another cartoon!
