Location

A service road just off Victoria Street in Ballarat. Right near Hungry Jack's.

Participants

Snaplatitude
A lady friend

Plans

We noticed the geohash today was at (well, just opposite) Hungry Jack's in town, so we thought we'd give it a go after work at about 5.30PM.

Expedition

Planned to meet at 5.30 at the hash, I took the lady in the quarter-of-a-century-old car and we'd agreed to meet a fellow hasher there, but he bailed via text when we arrived. First time I've ever had a hash in town, we didn't even have to leave the car (although the lady DID go to grab some HJ's for me. =))
