About
The geohash was at Kensington Road in Gosport.
Participants
Sadly just Sermoa. A lot of people were there by coincidence (because they happen to live in the area!) but i was the only person there by intention.
Expedition
I took the train from Winchester to Portsmouth Harbour, then the ferry over to Gosport. From there i walked to the coordinate location.
Tracklog
I'm not very good at geography, i didn't look at the map properly, i forgot the name of the road, and i forgot to take my phone so i didn't know the exact time.
Despite all those potential setbacks, i managed to find my way there. I roughly knew the time - i was there from about 15:50 to 16:20.
I took lots of photos and wrote a little note which i posted through the door of the house. I didn't have the nerve to knock and tell them about it. They probably would not have understood anyway!
Photos
The route from Gosport Ferry to the location.
Location of the geohash, as found by the lookup tool.
A note i posted through the door of the house to let them know about geohashing.
There's the actual conservatory where the geohash landed!
Kensington Road.
On the ferry to get to Gosport - that's the other one returning.
Panoramic photos
I took some photos in May in the hope of making a panorama. It's only now in October that i know how to do it! Unfortunately the photos don't overlap well enough to make a full 360 but i managed to get these little snippets. -- sermoa 18:19, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Achievements
It was my first geohash so i'll award myself this:

|
Public transport is pretty much default for me anyway, since i don't have a car! But it was great to be able to go by ferry! :)
 |
Sermoa earned the Public transport geohash achievement

It was good fun even though i didn't meet anybody. I'll certainly do another one when it's somewhere i can get to.
