Steve's rules of geohashing:
- The bush bash is always longer than it looked on the map.
- The bush bash always takes longer than you thought it would.
- You will find a better way out of the bush bash than the way in. Unless you rely on this rule, in which case, the reverse applies.

Auto-expedition template
A nice hack to automatically fill in an expedition template when you edit a blank expedition page.
1. Go to https://geohashing.site/geohashing/User:Stevage/common.js and copy all the code (from // <includeonly>
onwards)
2. Go to the equivalent URL for your user name (eg https://geohashing.site/geohashing/User:CoolGeohasher/common.js), edit, paste, save.
Successful hashes
