From Geohashing

Hello SpiritofMaurice. I'm wondering if you have been blinded by science. You have a splendid evidence photo but Google maps reports the hashpoint is next to a drainage ditch between two fields that look like wheat although the crop might be different from the satellite view. This is about 6.5 miles inland from your coastal view coordinates. --Sourcerer (talk) 06:25, 18 September 2015 (EDT)

OK - I've re-read your report. The photo shows the outstanding natural beauty nearby and is not an evidence photo. I totally agree as you can see from my 2011-06-26_52_0 report. I was blinded by my inability to read carefully. --Sourcerer (talk) 06:36, 18 September 2015 (EDT)
Heh heh heh. You're right, it was just a nearby walk after the hash. Lost count of the number of times I've been blinded by my inability to read carefully on the Internet! If I may ask you, is a screenshot acceptable proof of arrival at the location? I don't have a standalone GPS receiver to photograph. Cheers --SpiritofMaurice (talk) 17:09, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
Yes - screenshots are fine. Some geohashers have no electronics at all. They take bearings on landmarks to locate the hashpoint. Also I love your sunset pictures. --Sourcerer (talk) 21:30, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
