Location
Next to the River Frome near Dorchester
Retro Expedition 2020-03-09
This is Macronencer's Displaced Origin Geohash for this graticule, and he attempted to reach it as it looked easy enough...
Participants
Plans
Macronencer plans to drop by on a round trip that also includes a standard hash near Winfrith Newburgh, just 15 minutes away by car.
Expedition
Co-ordinates NOT reached due to severe flooding of river. Report to follow later! For now, I'll just mention that My Kingdom for a Boat, There Might be Alligators, and Velociraptor Attack would all have been relevant achievements, if only this were a standard hash!
