This was attempt three of four on this day. The hashpoint was on the boundary between two agricultural fields. It might have been a pub geohash but the pub looked closed. For some reason, I got quite disorientated and set off in the wrong direction twice before zeroing in on the true point. The route to this hashpoint included a part of Thetford forest. This is a very nice place to visit.

Benjw

Ben was unaware that Sourcerer was also attempting this hashpoint today, but in any case had to be there much later because of work. Ben set off from Cambridge mid-afternoon, visiting a few nearby geocaches on the way, and then parking in the nearby village and walking the short but very muddy distance along the edge of the field to the hashpoint, where he arrived just after 5pm. He took some photos of the area and of the sun setting, and then went home to make dinner. It was a nice afternoon out.
