We had finished a late pizza-salad-brownie-icecream-cake dinner at about 10 pm, and were hanging out setting up to play Citadels, when Jess saw me looking contemplative and said "you're thinking about going geohashing!" "I was seriously considering it, yeah."  "Where is today's?"  "In a village just outside Coxhoe, right on the street, about fifteen minutes away; it's easy."  "Check to see where tomorrow's is."  [pause, fiddling with laptop]  "In Bishop Auckland, about 20 minutes away from today's." "Can we hit both, one before midnight and one after?"  "Sure."  Thus began this evening's silly adventure.

Oh, and another snippet of the conversation:  "Did you know there's a Hobbit Hash achievement?" "No way.  How does it work?"  "You have to go barefoot, fed, and bearing a ring."  "We're doing it!"

So today's is just at the end of somebody's driveway, public road, small town, trivial to locate even at 11:40 pm. Shoes off, rings out: four honorary hobbits. (We don't get the actual award because we didn't eat on the way and we didn't walk, but we're claiming a with-Sam-and-Frodo-in-spirit thing here.)  Also three of them are wearing pajamas. Return to car, 11:46: off to the next hash, and the date will change while we're on the way.

Participants


Expedition

From yesterday's hashpoint about 25 minutes east, we departed at 11:46 pm headed for this one, and with no wrong turns got here between 12:10 and 12:15am: two hashes, two different days, within half an hour of each other.

Hashpoint was at the side of a residential street. We drove around the road loop that surrounded the local park, drove back down the street on the side where the hash was at what felt like it ought to have been the correct legal speed, then parked and walked back for photos. A teenage kid kept peering out between the window blinds at us, first from her living room and then from an upstairs room; we smiled and waved but got no return gestures. Oh well...

The park had some cool sculptures in it at our end.
