The George

Plans

Is anyone planning to go to this hash? Shall be my first. -- The George 19:57, 1 August 2012 (GMT+01:00)

"Failed but attempted hash" is how The George's talk page describes this hash. Hopefully we might get to hear a little more at some point! — Benjw _{talk} 00:42, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Expedition

Forgotten to get around to doing the write-up of the failed expedition, better late than never as they say. Well here we go, Started at my hometown and got bus to outskirts of it, was following android mobile app to find the geohash only to find my mobile to die on me when still about half hour walk from hash. Went walking in general direction but ended up giving up after walking in a giant circle. Got bus home. So failed due to a tech mishap, but at least it was tried. --The George 21:57, 12 August 2012 (EDT)
