Location

Next to a bush at the ground floor carpark of a block of flats in Burnley.

Participants

Felix

Expedition

The first thing I did when I woke up was to check the hashes. I'm so used to seeing these way out in the Bay, or off in some farm near Kilmore or somewhere these days that I barely look at the app. But this time I saw the hash was in Burnley and, after initially thinking I'd made a mistake and was looking at an old hash, knew I had to get it.

Annoyingly, had I checked my phone when I woke up briefly overnight, I would have seen that the hash was directly on my route to my work's office in Mount Waverley, which I'd been considering working from up until last night. Had I left the house slightly earlier, I could have simply got off the train at Burnley Station, got the hash, and caught the next train to work. Sadly, I'd decided to go to the Collins St office so I was already too late for this maneuver.

I got ready and left the house about 20 minutes earlier than I would have with no hash. I rode through Carlton and down Spring St in the city, taking Brunton Ave south of the MCG to get to Burnley. I wound my way through the streets until I was at the hash.

On the way I saw that Tom was slightly ahead of me as I rode through Carlton - I could see his location on Google Maps. I decided not to pursue him, though, given my misadventure during a previous hash 2024-03-21 -37 145 - maybe he was actually on a train.

The hash itself was inside a bush, or just next to it, at the surface carpark of a walk-up block of flats. It was also right on the edge of a laneway, so it was very accessible. I walked around a bit to make sure I was right on the point, took some photos, and left.

I took the most direct route to work at the Rialto Towers that I could, crossing the Yarra twice in the process. In the end I made it into the building only 7 minutes late. This blew out to about 20 minutes though, since I don't have a card pass yet and I got trapped inside the bike storage locker waiting for someone to come in and open the door for me. But there haven't seemed to be any long term consequence for my tardiness so I'm going to mark this down as a complete success.
