Location
In a field near Cardigan/Ceredigion in Wales.
Participants
- KarMann
- KarMann's wife
Plans
Once the leap day coordinates were announced, we settled on a plan of driving out to southwest Wales, spending the night in Fishguard, and getting the as-of-yet-unhashed Aberystwyth graticule, then trying a few more hashpoints along the way back to Manchester. We weren't sure about the nature of the field, but from the satellite view, it certainly seemed to have a good gate and track going into it, right toward the hashpoint. So we'd get an early start, drive to the road by the field, and check it out.
Expedition
We got up, and, after a lovely breakfast, and some photography by the seaside, headed off to Cardigan for the hashpoint. There was lovely scenery along the way, and some ominous-looking weather and wet areas, but nothing too off-putting. After a fair wait at some of the one-lane temporary traffic lights, we approached the lane that apparently led to the field with our first destination of the day.
We found the gate we'd seen in the satellite views, although maybe a little more closed-up looking than we'd hoped. Nonetheless, our new hashscot Curdis remembered to accompany us properly this time, and get his photo taken. We worked our way around the gate, and made our way to the hashpoint, phone in hand to find just the right spot.
And, just as we got to that spot, we learned of our mistake. Apparently, this was not a public right-of-way or access field, and the presumable owner had seen our car and arrived to chase us off. I did take one quick screenshot of the geohashing app as we started back to the gate and the car, and we were feeling much chastised. We left promptly, and headed off to our next hashpoint for the day, in Mid Wales, and the exciting and interesting weather along the way.

Photos
