[edit] Location
The geohash was in a wooded area very close to Bournemouth Airport. We were concerned that it may lie just inside the boundary to the airport.

[edit] Plans
Not much planning went into this. On the morning of the expedition, Corwin suggested it to Mahahahaneapneap, who then invited Blue Rise. Mahahahaneapneap wrote the co-ordinates on a piece of paper, and off we went.
[edit] Expedition
Corwin picked us both up and we drove a few miles to the geohash. We parked in the car park on Matchams Lane and completed the journey on foot. It was a very warm day, but the only people around were a couple of dog walkers. We found the co-ordinates fairly easily, and posed for photos using Blue Rise's new camera. The spot turned out not to be within the airport boundary, but it was fairly close.

A nice field we found on the way back.
I think the airport is behind those trees.
