Location

Near the bank of the Opihi River, Temuka, New Zealand

Participants

The Quaternary (talk) family geohashers

Plans

Checking out the geohashes this morning with some interest as one does whenever one is going on a road trip - will there be any hashes enroute to the destination? And yes, there is, what's more, in a graticule yet to be de-cherried, and another quadrant to knock off in my minesweeping award - days don't get much better than this!

Expedition

The hash is near the north bank of the Opihi River, just South of Temuka, on what looks like some sort of off-road track.

The track was pretty rough, but turn back this intrepid geohasher did not, even though there were pot holes twice the size of our car that threatened to swallow us up (and possibly home to a Velociraptor).

Photos

  • Entering this graticule we were met by a sculpture leaving us in no doubt that we had crossed the southern hemispheres 44th latitude. (I meant to take a photo of this as we headed home, but I forgot, so thanks to Wikipedia for this photo).

  • At the hash!

  • View to the west - the way we had just come - where we had just finished passing through a grove of what looked like to be poplars

  • View to the east - the trusty stead and co-pilot

  • View to the south - the Opihi River is just on the other side of those trees

  • View to the north - with the river's stop-bank in the background - what is the view like from the top of that stop bank?

  • Looking west down the stop-bank

  • Looking east down the stop-bank ...

  • ... and a closeup of the cattle

  • Looking down at the hash ...

  • ... and the trusty stead

  • Leaving the hash, back on the road again, we approach the bridge that crosses the Opihi River ...

  • ... with a good view of the poplar trees that mark the place of today's geohash
