Location

On pigface in the Altona wetlands.

Participants

Expedition

Lovely hash! Got up, saw the accessibility of this one, got on my bike and headed off towards hash, following my usual south-western bike path route.

Arriving in Spotswood, I decided to vary it up a bit, discovering new bike paths in the Seddon region by heading inland somewhat. Obviously, these bike paths had already been discovered by those who came before, but they were new to me.

Pretty quickly I was 50m from the hash. I stepped off my bike and gingerly walked over the red and green (?) coastal pigface to arrive at the hash location. A passing cyclist eyed me curiously.

I took some ace photos of my surrounds and headed home back along the coast, stopping briefly to see the 1pm timeball fall and to have a snack lunch at a park in Williamstown, feeling impressed with the sunny weather and my ability to be submerged within it.

Here is the route of my trip.
