Expedition

Sourcerer: Neil set out by car on various errands, taking in today's hashpoint on the way.

  • On arrival, my droid logged into the wiki and left this message:
    Arrived. -- Sourcerer @52.5636,1.2262 11:08, 16 August 2011 (GMT+01:00)

The expedition was easy and routine. I parked by the church and walked a few hundred metres to the hashpoint which was right on a public footpath. Geohashing in this part of the world can be really easy. Every week or so there seems to be a hashpoint on or very near a public path. History has left us with so many public paths. It's great.

Today was a day of jelly-sky (Jell-O-sky). While standing still the GPSr seemed to be wandering about over a +/- 5 metre radius. There were big cumulus convection clouds making the satellites wobble.


MagicIan lives within a 10 minute walk of the hashpoint, so had an even easier time to get there. He got back from work, had dinner and then went for an lovely sunny summer evening stroll, doing a circular route which he had done as part of a longer hike sometime in the past. His route crossed Mulbarton, down the side of some houses and across the horse field to get onto the Tas Valley Way. Once photos at the hashpoint were completed he carried on and returned by way of the road.
