[[User:JimmyNZ|JimmyNZ]],[[User:Greenslime|Greenslime]]:I was all keen to drive out, snap a pic then return home, but with Greenslime prodding me we hatched a very devious plan. So basically we decided to run to the hash point via one route, stop take photos, then walk up to a bus depo, catch a ride back on a different route, and run the difference from where the bus dropped us off and our home.

[[User:JimmyNZ|JimmyNZ]],[[User:Greenslime|Greenslime]]:SO after carefully planning our route over a cup of coffee, it was still early and with yesterday being Xmas we were both a little too full of food. After packing supplies, including a couple of Greenslimes' homemade fruit mince pies (yum!!) we took off on our little jog. It kinda sucks that we get out of our house and we're facing a steep hill for the next few kilometers. What a rude wake up.

A little time passes, along with 10.17 km (or 6.3 miles for you imperial folk) and we reach the hashpoint.

Location

By Google maps it appears to be at the base of a street light in a median strip out in Albany.

Participants

Plans

JimmyNZ,Greenslime: I was all keen to drive out, snap a pic then return home, but with Greenslime prodding me we hatched a very devious plan.

Basically we decided to run to the hash point via one route; stop and take photos; and then walk up to a bus depot; catch a ride back on a different route; and finally run the remainder from where the bus dropped us off to our home.

Krintar:Everyone I talked to about having a geohashing adventure seemed lazy and uninterested, so I was on the brink of deciding to just leave my first hash for some other day... then I noticed the location. 'Munroe Lane?' I thought to myself, 'I could do my first hash in Munroe Lane? Awesome.' So I decided to go ahead anyway.

I'll be there around 4pm; hope to see someone else.

Expedition

JimmyNZ,Greenslime:So after carefully planning our route over a cup of coffee, it was still early and with yesterday being Xmas we were both a little too full of food. After packing supplies, including a couple of Greenslimes' homemade fruit mince pies (yum!!) we took off on our little jog. It kinda sucks that we get out of our house and we're facing a steep hill for the next few kilometers. What a rude wake up.

A little time passes, along with 10.17 km (or 6.3 miles for you imperial folk) and we reach the hashpoint. We catch our breaths, sit down for a little hash pie, snap some photos, pick up some trash (It was an AC/DC cd: who throws that stuff out - black ice is a classic!!) for a further geotrash award then amble up to the bus stop.

After only a 4 minute wait for a bus (believe me in New Zealand that's what we call amazing) we jump on, pay a small fortune and sit back in air conditioned comfort for a little siesta.

Once we're ejected it's only a short 3.3 km run (~2 miles folks) until we reach home.

Job done, and a successful Tron Achievement.


Krintar: Managed to snag a lift out there; parked on Davies Dr. and walked down to the hash point. Not terribly complicated for a first time out, though in retrospect I wish I had thought to set myself up for a few achievements.

I did manage to convince one of my friends to come out and meet me there, at least. We agreed that it was convenient to have a lamppost marking the hash point. Snapped a few pictures, hey presto, time to go home.
