Location

The location was right on the road -- Pigbush Lane near Alfold.

Participants

TheOtterslider

Plans

This is my first effort at geohashing. With today being a snow day at my daughter's school, this seemed like a fun activity. We are planning to arrive at today's geohash by 4pm. Once that is done, I'll update this page. TheOtterslider 01:53, 21 January 2013 (EST)

Expedition

It wasn't hard to find. As I got closer, I thought it may be in the field to the right; however, the Geohash Droid app told me I was within the margin of error while on the road.

Unfortunately, I hadn't read the "proof" section before I went and don't have a picture of me (or the date). And my mobile phone camera was the only camera I brought with me :^(

We didn't stay until 4pm...the kids were whingy and just wanted to get home so we left at the stroke of 4.

Photos

Photos are here. I can't figure out how to get them into the wiki without reuploading them

Achievements

TheOtterslider earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (51, -0) geohash on 2013-01-21.
