Danatar
The hashpoint is about 3 km from Danatar's house as the bird flies, so he decided to do another walk geohash. He brought a towel with him (because of Towel Day) and a fruit salad for a picnic. On his way to the hashpoint he did some detours but neither McDonald's nor Burger King had Squishees. Most of the walk was easy (but hot) and Danatar soon reached the road that led nearest to the hashpoint, where he found Srs0 and thepiguy on the last intersection, about 100 m from the spot.
The direct direction to the hashpoint was blocked by a fence, and nobody wanted to crawl through the underbrush alongside it, instead they followed the track until the fence ended and they were in a meadow with very high grass, where Srs0 and thepiguy left their bikes. From the other end of the meadow, it was still 30 m to the hashpoint so the three geohashers entered the wilderness. They snaked their way between bushes and through a small ravine until they reached the hashpoint, where the bushes were less dense and there was even some grass growing.
After documenting the gps reading, the towels and Stupid GrinsTM, Danatar uncovered the fruit salad and they had a picnic. Then thepiguy and Danatar undressed (except for the towels, to spare Srs0's sanity) for the Geoflashing and Calendar girl achievements.
On his way back Danatar used the shortest route and, when a bus arrived just as he was passing the stop, even took it for a short distance.
Total distance walked by Danatar: 5.9 + 3.8 = 9.7 km
