Location

The footpath on a leafy suburban street in Balwyn.

Participants

Expedition

I woke up on Saturday morning to the wonderful sound of rain, quickly remembering Stevage's request last night for Saturday and Sunday's coordinates. To ensure he had maximum time to cycle to them (somewhere up in Queensland), I quickly grabbed my phone and loaded up Geohash Droid. Amazingly the first thing I see is that there's a hash 3km away, an easy ride even with the rain.

I quickly SMSed Stevage the weekend's coordinates and got up. After breakfast and stuffing around for an hour or two, the weather had cleared so I set out on my bike.

I quickly reached the hash, took a photo and uploaded it from my phone. My easiest hash ever (and about time there was another hash for Melbourne)

Made it to the Melbourne East hash, only 3km from home! -- Talex @-37.7977,145.0671 11:53, 13 November 2010 (GMT+11:00)
