34 km is quite enough for one day.  -- [[User:Thunk|Thunk]] ([[User talk:Thunk|talk]]) [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-37.81282920&lon=144.96759060&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF @-37.8128,144.9676] 04:49, 2 April 2017 (GMT+00:00)

*It turns out that after I wrote that, I started feeling restless again. So on another whim, I started walking the 17 km from South Yarra station to my temporary hideaway. The first 5 km were relatively all right, but exhaustion soon set in, and I was at my limits by the time I completed my journey. The total distance on foot is currently unclear due to GPS jitters but is likely greater than 50 km.

And considering how sore I was for two days afterwards, it probably wasn't worth it. Though proper shoe choice left me with only one large blister on my right foot (and only a very small one on the left foot).

*Hampton geohash success!  -- [[User:Felix Dance|Felix Dance]] ([[User talk:Felix Dance|talk]]) [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-37.94071990&lon=145.02633930&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF @-37.9407,145.0263] 12:45, 2 April 2017 (GMT+10:00)

Some explanation: I was out in Fairfield after riding in the Mike Hall memorial ride along the Yarra - a tribute to Indian Pacific Wheel Race competitor and car-crash fatality victim Mike Hall - when I discovered the hash. I left the Abbotsford Convent cafe and headed south towards Hampton along Church/Chapel Streets, picking up an Astor calendar along the way (heavy Melbourne referencing).
 +
 +
After a fair ride along the Nepean Highway, I turned off and arrived at the park nestled between Hampton East and Moorabin. The sun was sunny so I took a nap on the grass - a hashnap. But soon I was back on the bike and riding directly north into the tailwind, all the way up Burke Rd, a tour of the Eastern suburbs, to a first birthday party in Ivanhoe. I'll work out my total distance in a bit, but it must be about 60 Kms, or about 90 for the day.

The first 5 km were relatively all right, but exhaustion soon set in, and I was at my limits by the time I completed my journey.

Some explanation: I was out in Fairfield after riding in the Mike Hall memorial ride along the Yarra - a tribute to Indian Pacific Wheel Race competitor and car-crash fatality victim Mike Hall - when I discovered the hash. I left the Abbotsford Convent cafe and headed south towards Hampton along Church/Chapel Streets, picking up an Astor calendar along the way (heavy Melbourne referencing).

After a fair ride along the Nepean Highway, I turned off and arrived at the park nestled between Hampton East and Moorabin. The sun was sunny so I took a nap on the grass - a hashnap. But soon I was back on the bike and riding directly north into the tailwind, all the way up Burke Rd, a tour of the Eastern suburbs, to a first birthday party in Ivanhoe. I'll work out my total distance in a bit, but it must be about 60 Kms, or about 90 for the day.
