Location
Hursley, Hampshire, UK (in a field which looks quite easily accessible)
Participants
Plans
We are going late at night, from 11pm making it a Midnight Geohash. It's going to be full moon, so that should be very nice!
We'll hopefully get to the exact location. The field looks accessible enough, it's just going to be a matter of whether we encounter any No Trespassing signs (or the field turns out to be full of crops that we don't want to damage).
I'm looking forward to seeing a few of the excellent series of geocaches in and around Hursley. One of them might even qualify us for the Hash collision achievement!
Expedition
- Very likely to be going after work tomorrow evening. Hopeful to find a few of the nearby geocaches too! -- sermoa 21:35, 27 May 2010 (GMT+01:00)
- Okay so it's going to be a midnight geohash! That'll be fun! It's full moon tomorrow night and the field seems nice and open so we might make it without a torch, for bonus points! :) -- sermoa 23:33, 27 May 2010 (GMT+01:00)
- Getting ready to go out. Charged batteries, charged phone, loaded some geocaches into my phone ...! -- sermoa 22:17, 28 May 2010 (GMT+01:00)
- Made it to 220 metres from the geocache. The field is made of oil seed rape -- sermoa @51.0267,-1.3724 00:20, 29 May 2010 (GMT+01:00)
- The geohash was in the middle of a field of oil seed rape but we got to about 200m away. Sadly Geohash Droid kept crashing so I couldn't update. -- sermoa 01:32, 29 May 2010 (GMT+01:00)
- We had cake, listened to music and took photos which I'll put up tomorrow. We also found a geocache! Home now :) -- sermoa 01:34, 29 May 2010 (GMT+01:00)

Getting ready to go! Actually I'm just testing the picture upload function of geohash droid!
It says 145m but unfortunately the GPS was not very accurate. We were more like 220m away.
