Expedition

On a very soggy Easter Monday, Laura was dragged along to her first geohash. After considering various transport options to get there, such as me cycling and Laura PT'ng, we ended up with Laura tramming to near my place, and me driving together.

That should have been the easy bit. Somehow, two very distracted people ended up "meeting" at two very different locations, and hilarity continued to ensue for half an hour while I drove around to where I thought Laura was, misunderstanding a second time. It would be even funnier if we both worked in the spatial industry...

Driving was uneventful. I parked an arbitrary distance from the hash in order to at least do a token walk (500 metres each way, very token). The grass was very squishy. Surprisingly, the rain had not vanquished all golfers, with one foursome gamely gaming away. And there were ducks too.

I had expected to find the point in the middle of a fairway, but it seems the course has been slightly reconfigured and that area is now being rehabilitated as bush. Many little saplings in tree guards. Good luck trees, may you grow tall and proud!

As such we actually overshot slightly and had to squish back to the point, getting to it very quickly. We then squished off to the car in a roundabout fashion, and of course soon found ourselves at a pub.
