Location

Participants

Plans

I'll be travelling North through England all day on 2020-02-22 and it's not a huge diversion to go and climb a hill as a break, so long as I set off early enough in the morning. We'll see...

Expedition

It's a beautiful part of the world, the Peak District, although I could have picked a day when I'd be less-hampered by floods and wind. Nonetheless, I was able to climb a short way up Haven Hill, divert around an impromptu lake, and scramble into a thicket in order to reach the hashpoint at around 13:40. And to leave a "the Internet was here" sign at the nearest footpath.

Tracklog

Taken by GPSr, but I seem to have lost the charging/data cable for it. Will find at some point.

Photos

Proof and a silly grin together!
