Location

200m off the Wairarapa train line, south of featherston.

Participants

Hugh
Adelle

Plans

After Hugh and Adelle rode an "old timey train" from Paekakariki to Masterton, they decided to just use the commuter service back home, instead of the return steam locamotive. Upon checking the geohash location, Hugh saw that it was a mere 200 meters from the track along the route. Not the closest hash, but still gave it a go.

Expedition

Caught 4:40pm train from Masterton, and rode just shy of 200 meters past the hash at around 5:30pm. The hash location was up a very steep hill covered with gorse, so unsure whether it would really be accessible.

Sadly, we had already eaten our home baked pie, so we miss out on the Pie Geohash achievement.

Photos

Got as close as we could. 198m away. Dense gorse between us and it.
