On the way home from work, a quick call by the park.

Expedition

1PE

As expected, I parked about 20m from the hash and walked down through the permanent tables/bench seats and BBQ to the water's edge, checking the GPS as I went. The hash spot seemed a little closer to the lake edge than I'd expected from Google Maps. Several pictures were taken, then I left the printed details on the nearest table.

At home, later, I was having trouble with my connection to the net, so the pics are not up, yet.
