Location

Fendalton Park, Christchurch, New Zealand

Participants

The Quaternary (talk) family geohashers

Plans

A Geohash in a nearby park, and we have friends staying with us from out of town - what a perfect combination of visiting a park plus introducing them to the wonderful pasttime of geohashing!

Expedition

It was a pretty easy to locate the hash at the edge of the park which was duley photographed.

However, there was a discussion that there was a possibility that the hash was on the other edge of the boundary fence ... so in order to elimate any question of uncertainty or ambiguity, we lept the fence to the other side - well actually, we just walked up the driveway that was on the other side of the fence, and it turned out there was a convienient gap in the fence that was very handy to walk through.

Photos

At the hash, we created what is known as a "hash circle", and hence the saying "many hands make light hash".
