Location

Oxshott Heath, Surrey, England, UK.

This location is Common Land —this means the public can freely roam within it, whether on the path or off, so the hash should definitely be accessible (yipee)!

Participants

Plans

  • Saxbophone (talk) plans to get the train out here from London, to arrive at 15:45. Oxshott Railway station is absurdly close to the hash, so 15 minutes should be more than enough time to make the 16:00 Saturday Meetup time.
  • TheOtterslider (talk) is also planning to attend. It looks like there's a car park absurdly close

Expedition

I [TheOtterslider] arrived by car about 10 min before the planned time. I took a wrong turn and missed the car park on the first go round. After parking I headed up a trail in the general direction. Conveniently, there was a trail that took me right by the hash. I walked around it, but decided not to touch the actual location due to a bramble of holly bushes on the location. I waited for Saxbophone till about 5 past 4 then decided to leave. As I was walking down the hill, we met up and went back to the location to take some pictures. We talked for about an hour about things and then split up. However, we missed a perfect opportunity for a PGP key singing. Top Tip: If you are planning a meetup, you should always ask and take advantage of the opportunity.
