Participants
Plans
Chris and Rjwd will meet up with Kenny and then walk from Pencaitland to the geohash location via Glenkinchie and back on a modified route so that Kenny could get the Tron achievement.
Expedition
Rjwd and myself (Chris) first drove from Haddington to Pencaitland to meet Kenny before setting off on the adventure. A decent days weather made the trip a pleasant jaunt in the country. We took a route which followed an almost figure of 8 for Kenny to get the Tron achievement. A rather short and unadventurous route little happened that was noteworthy. We did stop in Glenkinchie (a local whisky distillery, whose product tastes awesome) and did the usual photo posing. At the location we had a short wait on a tractor vacating the field, none of us could be bothered explaining that we were from the internet. We had a slight issue getting the actual location spot on since the gps was jumping around. A lot of circling the point and frustration later, we got some photos (none of the spot on location, the gps was jumping around too much to manage) and headed back, taking an old railway back and taking the fourth route at a cross roads that we had already hit making the figure of 8. Short walk back and we were done. First hash for Kenny, and plans to hash more often.
