Expedition

This outing should have been really easy being so close to home. I had a printed page with the co-ordinates so of course nothing could go wrong. This was my first outing using the gh.eupeodes.nl calculator. When I entered the co-ordinates they were 140km away. That was easy to fix. Just correct East 0 to East 1 and try again. The new position was still 6km away and only a few metres from my house. Clearly I had misunderstood the screen shot.

It was time to deploy the HTC Droid but of course there was no 3G signal in the valley with the stream. I had to abort the walk and drive to a hill top in range of a 3G mast. The Droid managed to log into the geohashing app and I had the co-ordinates.

This time the circular walk was easy. Follow the stream for a bit. Turn right up the hill. Turn left at the top and notice that there was now a 3G signal so the abort and hill top drive had not been necessary. I got to within 14 metres on the public footpath. The hashpoint was in the wheat field a short way off the path. It was possible to make a small backtrack and use the tractor tracks made during crop spraying. These came right to the hashpoint which was wandering about because of the unstable weather. Success!
