Gimcrack

Expedition

I went to this geohash in the rain. I was on a tight timetable, passing through towards the city, so drove to the closest road crossing, which is Burgi Hill Rd. I must have crossed this road hundreds of times before on my bike, but this is the first time to get there in a car! There were streams running down Burgi Hill Rd, and numerous small lakes along the rail trail, so no surprise that I had it to myself as I jogged the 200 m up the trail to the hash. For those of you familiar with the rail trail, the hash was close to the derelict flower farm (as depicted below). My umbrella seemed to provide the perfect marker for the spot, despite the obvious risk of getting a bit rained on in the meantime.

Hash in the bag, I hightailed it back to the car and the comfort of climate control.
