Expedition

• Success! -- Stevage (talk) @-37.8000,145.0139 13:38, 11 February 2022 (GMT+11:00)

Another delightful geohash! I drifted awake at 1:30am with one thought firmly in mind: where was the day's geohash? If it was far away I was prepared to get up at the crack of dawn or earlier and make a dash for it. But amazingly, it was one of the closest and nicest I'd seen in ages! I decided not to alert the Geohashing Gchat group so others would have the pleasure of discovery.

Later that day, the same geohashing congregants as were assembled at 2022-02-09 -37 145 all decided to conglomerate together at the hash. John was walking/jogging from Footscray - no mean feat. I headed off and met Stevage outside his house in Fitzroy North.

It was an easy ride, some creek bike paths and a pedestrian suspension bridge, and then we were there. John had been waiting only a couple of minutes (he says). We took some photos and spent a good hour talking politics over a few beers by the river, watching the cormorants dive for fish and ducks float by.

For Stevage and I at least the trip home was uneventful.

This was my fourth hash in a row. Hopefully we continue in the hash-gods good favour.
