Expedition

Lia and pah went on a three weeks and ~4000km road trip through Namibia in January and could not explore any hashing opportunities (mostly due to lack of network connectivity) most of the time. On their way back from the Etosha National Park, they found today’s hash point promisingly close to their route on the B1 national road.

When they first left the B1 as per the suggestion from Google, they drove around 6km on a sand road between farming fences and then realized, that this road won’t bring them closer to the hash. So they decided to head back to the main road and look for another entry. Soon they found a service path next to railroad tracks going parallel to the B1 (but still ~200m closer towards the hash). As they continued on this path, they made it as close as 3.2km to the hash, but then there were only fences as far as their eyes could see.

A few hundred meters further, they arrived at a locked gate and accepted, that they won’t reach the hashpoint today and pah missed another opportunity for the Globetrotters Geohash after the previous thwarted attempts on 2016-05-21 and 2019-01-19.
