Location

Hammelev, Denmark.

Participants

Kat The Awesome (duly represented by Harriet The Sheep and Toettoet The Mouse)

Plans

Kat and I were on a road trip in Denmark when this hash came up almost right on the road we were planning to take that day. I explained to Kat that I wanted to visit a random point on this rural road nearby, trying to explain the idea behind Geohashing, and she replied: "That sounds nerdy! But funny too :-)".

Expedition

Reaching the hash was pretty easy: popped the coordinates into my GPS and followed its directions. The hash was located near some thorny bushes by the side of a road, and for some reason the GPS reception was pretty poor. It took a bit of dancing to get a low enough reading to qualify. I took some pictures with Lloyd and Kat's mascots, and then continued on our trip.

Photos

The road.
The bushes. The hash is somewhere around here.
A bit of an ugly dance, but we're close enough.

Achievements

FelixTheCat (talk) earned the Drag-along achievement

by dragging Kat The Awesome to the (55, 9) geohash on 2016-07-29.
