Location

Near the perimeter hedge of Congleton Golf Course, Cheshire East, UK.

Planning

Visit Mansfield first and then attempt this one. Return to Mike and Jane's house and spend the rest of the day eating and drinking!

Participants

Sourcerer

Expedition

The journey from 53, -1 to 53, -2 crosses the Derbyshire Peak District. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty and well worth a visit at any time.

Golf courses are often well fenced and riff raff are kept out. Today there was a narrow gap in the hedge and a squeeze past some fir tree branches led to the forbidden land. The hashpoint was close to the perimeter and I was able to zero onto the hashpoint, take an evidence photo and depart in under one minute. A few golfers were nearby but scarcely had time to register my presence before I'd departed again.
