Location

Field with public footpath, East Adderbury.

Participants

Dan Q

Plans

I'm keen to get to level 2 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement, and this far-South-of-graticule hashpoint represents an opportunity to achieve that. I'll be at work during the day, but - energy levels permitting after what'll have been a long day! - I'll find a way to get up here and see if I can get to the hashpoint, aiming to arrive probably around 18:30.

Expedition

SUCCESS! Details to follow, but the short of it is: beautiful village, hash point defended by cows, awarding myself a celebratory egg and chips at the Coach and Horses.

Tracklog

Photos

A little overgrown, but I've hiked along far worse
Eventually, I ended up in a field of cows
Silly grin as I reach the hashpoint
Ground Zero
Ham, chips... and TWO eggs...?
Interesting bit of the track log: the walk around East Adderbury
