Plans

What a great holiday weekend this is shaping up to be - two hashes within two days, and a first for this graticule.

However today's is on the far side of a braided river - will we be able to get access to that side of the river?

Expedition

The geohashing gods were looking after us today; not only was there great access to the river, with the road coming right up beside it, there was not a drop of water in the river at this time of the year. An additional bonus was that the two bulls that were grazing on the side of the river seemed not to mind us walking through their domain.

So it was very easy to get to the hash, and grab a few photos; but with the bulls there, we didn't dilly-dally for long.
