Expedition

A short description here before I flesh it out later:

Lachie and I had planned to ride up Mt Dandenong from home 10 times. Sadly, we did not do that, only reaching 6 for Lachie, 5 for me. This was still 202/232 kms and over 3.6kms of vertical climb though, so not that bad!

I was held up by having to take a Covid test prior to my flight to Queensland in a few days - the lines for testing are over an hour long. And then we discovered this geohash!

So I met Lachie after my test and between Lachie's first and second climbs. We found a way to get close and looked on.

It was obviously in a paddock with a house looking over it. So we knocked on the door. No answer. Given no-one was there to tell us to leave we rode to the fence, hopped over, said hi to the sheep and alpaca, got the hash and continued with our ride.

It's up for debate if this qualifies for a contender for longest ride for a geohash since most of the ride wasn't used for actually getting to the point.
