Plans
JimmyNZ,Greenslime:I was all keen to drive out, snap a pic then return home, but with Gleenslime prodding me we hatched a very devious plan. So basically we decided to run to the hash point via one route, stop take photos, then walk up to a bus depo, catch a ride back on a different route, and run the difference from where the bus dropped us off and our home.
Krintar:Everyone I talked to about having a geohashing adventure seemed lazy and uninterested, so I was on the brink of deciding to just leave my first hash for some other day... then I noticed the location. 'Munroe Lane?' I thought to myself, 'I could do my first hash in Munroe Lane? Awesome.' So I decided to go ahead anyway.
I'll be there around 4pm; hope to see someone else.
Expedition
JimmyNZ,Greenslime:SO after carefully planning our route over a cup of coffee, it was still early and with yesterday being xmas we were both a little too full of food. After packing supplies, including a couple of Greenslimes' homemade fruit mince pies (yum!!) we took off on our little jog. It kinda sucks that we get out of our house and we're facing a steep hill for the next few kilometers. What a rude wake up.
A little time passes, along with 10.17km (or 6.3 miles for you imperial folk) and we reach the hashpoint. We catch our breaths, sit down for a little hash pie, snap some photos, pick up some trash (it was an AC/DC cd, who throws that stuff out, black ice is a classic!!) for a further geotrash award then amble up to the bus stop.
After only a 4 minute wait for a bus (believe me in new zealand thats what we call amazing) we jump on, pay a small fortune and sit back in air conditioned comfort for a little siesta.
Once we're ejected its only a short 3.3km run (~2 miles folks) to we reach home.
Job done, and a successful Tron achievement.
