Expedition: Pierre's first geohashing

For my first geohashing, I planned things a bit, bit didn't take track of my expedition at all. So I thought about taking a GPS, old shoes and strong jeans, but not once did I think to write anything down during the expedition.

So, basically, I compared the spot to the Google Map satellite view and saw I was in the right area, then wandered in the woods while carrying the GPS. Then I removed my clothes (this was a very hot day), and successively earned the geoflashing, formal attire and circus achievements. Finally satisfied, I came back home. It's a good thing my sidekick Chris was there to help me.

  In Luxembourg, you can find two things: Banks and cows. We found ourselves in the cow part.

• 

  We didn't have a Citation, so we just used Chris' car.

• 

  OK, the GPS wasn't the best tool we could have had, but at leat I had my trusted towel. I never go on an adventure without my towel.

• 

  We couldn't get closer than this. But we walked around this location for so long than I'm sure we steepd on the spot at some point.
