Expedition

Kieran, having just finished night shift, decided to go geohashing. Now to switch to first person. It was an "Eleventh Commandment" geohash as I crept down a farm track right next to a farm house.

I navigated to where I thought the has should be according to Google Maps landmarks and then checked the GPS. I had the longitude right, the latitude was out by about a kilometre. The map below shows how far out I was.

Video report from the hash.

Photos

Yellow arrow was where I was, google marker where I should have been..
