Location

Parkhouse Road, Barrow-in-Furness.

The road is "busy" for what looks like a minor country road, and because it joins two parts of the town it does get used as a short-cut. I know, I've done it myself.

Participants

Alexandersmith (talk)

Plans

I am planning to cycle to the hash, with an attempt on the TRON award for the entire journey.

Expedition

A text-book geohashing expedition. I cycled to the meet-up point, saw there was plenty of passing traffic, but nobody else seemed like they were from the internet.

I captured a few images, and left, being careful to not cross my track on the way back.

Tracklog

Photos

Droid Geohash app showing my proximity to the geohash point.
Auto-photo at the geo-hash.
The general nature of the location. The location of the hash is in the centre of the image.

Achievements

Alexandersmith earned the Bicycle geohash achievement

by cycling 8 miles to and from the (54, -3) geohash on 2013-06-06.

Alexandersmith earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (54, -3) geohash on 2013-06-06.

Alexandersmith (talk) earned the Tron achievement

by reaching and returning from the (54, -3) geohash without crossing his own tracks on 2013-06-06.
