Location
In a park in Templestowe, yo.
Participants
Plans
- Kozz - Wandering out that way sometime in the arvo.
- myka - will head out in the afternoon at some point (left home just after 4pm)
Expedition
Supremely confident in my masculinity, I went to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, which for some reason people call MIFGS rather than the strict acronym MIFAGS. Go figure.
After spending a morning and early afternoon elbowing my way through the horrors of the Blue Rinse Brigade and several thousand people whose main purpose in life seems to be to stop directly in front of me when I'm trying to walk in a straight line on a footpath, I decided to go to the hashpoint on the way home.
Twas an easy drive and an easy get, I pulled up to the reserve and parked, and followed the Garmin to the spot. I got to within a metre, but with overcast skies the hashpoint was jumping around like a...jumping thing. I made a hashmarker, then as I watched the Garmin it told me I was 20 metres out of place. I went to the updated hashpoint, made ANOTHER hash marker, and took another photo. It then told me to go back to the original hashpoint. So Myka's probably confused as hell trying to figure out who all the hashmarkers were left by.
Got back in the car and drove home, in time to watch Jenson Button win the Formula One, and Mark Webber drive into the back of an unsuspecting Lewis Hamilton. Poor Schuey didn't do so well either, but that wasn't help by crashing early on in the race.
