Dan Q also wrote about this expedition on his blog. For more details and higher-resolution pictures, see this expedition's log at https://danq.me/2019/05/27/geohashing-expedition-2019-05-27-51-1/

Location

Hashpoint appears to be at the very end of Bleache Place, a suburban cul-de-sac in South-East Oxford. Looks very close to, but not on, the driveway of number 15. Possibly a convenient nearby lamp post for possibly attaching a "the Internet was here" sign?

Participants

Dan Q

Plans

(So long as he can get enough of his coursework done to justify taking a break), Dan Q plans to cycle out to the hashpoint at some point during the day.

Expedition

14:55 - okay, I've not finished as much of my coursework as I'd hoped, but I've finished enough that I can afford to take a break of a couple of hours to cycle out to the hashpoint, do a silly grin, put up a "The internet was here!" sign, and whatnot. Here we go!

15:58 - Success! Photos, tracklog, and details to follow. I've put a sign up so I wanted to put a message here for anybody who happens to see it and visit this page before I get home and finish writing-up!

Came home via geocache GC6102Y, safely home by 17:15 and back to studying!
