Expedition

Vermouthandgin and Zertrin

We (vermouthandgin and me) are gonna try to reach this one. Only departing now, so it will be more than an hour since we live on the other side of Singapore. -- — Zertrin 15:14, 20 August 2017 (GMT+08:00)

Oooookayyyy, so this begins well, we managed to get the only bus in Singapore where the aircon actually heats the air instead of cooling it... The adventure begins! -- — Zertrin @1.3532,103.7697 15:18, 20 August 2017 (GMT+08:00)

We reached it at 16:45 :-D -- — Zertrin 16:59, 20 August 2017 (GMT+08:00)

Cyazlars

Well, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I wasn't the only one to reach the geohash today! I didn't receive a watch notification from the graticule page, so it's a pity I missed out on meeting them.

I left home at 5pm, taking 858 to Yishun and from there, 965 to Sengkang. I arrived at Sengkang Interchange around 5.40pm and it was a brief 5-minute walk to the geohash. The GPS signal was unfortunately all over the place. I didn't want to be seen skulking about rather obviously, so I took what proof I could and got out of there.
