Location

Beside a railway track, Erua, Central Plateau, New Zealand

Participants

Plans

Currently at an internet cafe and rapidly running out of credit looking at maps. This hash is close to my current location and so very close to a track I have been reconnoitering up Mt Hauhungatahi (1521 m, Old Baldy!) Coincidence? I think not!

Expedition

All I can say is its 171 m that way... (points...) Feeling rather disheartened just looking at the extrapolated hash location, I stepped over the train-track and ventured a mere 10 m inwards to find a water filled channel running parallel to the train-tracks. Literally already in over my head in thick New Zealand native bush, I gave up...but it looked so easy on the map (sulk).

Photos

Its 171 m that way (points...) a spur to Old Baldy in the background
600 m between hash (upper) and trail head to Old Baldy (lower)
Erua, a very very very small settlement in the Central Plateau

Achievements

Greenslime earned the Done with Nature consolation prize

by failing to reach the (-39, 175) geohash on 2011-12-05.
