Location
A firetrack near Mount Barker
Participants
XXOs's dad
Plans
The reasoning for doing this geohash was basically the same as my last one - I still need more (night) hours for my driver's license, and again my father was available and the geohash was (probably) accessible.
Expedition
The drive to this hashpoint was slightly more eventful than last time! By which I mean there were roadworks on the South Eastern Freeway, and so I had to travel at 40km/h rather than the usual 80-100km/h.
After a little under an hour of driving, we reached the hashpoint. Well, almost. The point was about 200 metres down a fire track which we weren't allowed to drive down, so we had to walk the last stretch. It wasn't too bad, but my dad was wearing sandals (not the best walking shoes) and there was an annoying amount of bugs.
I almost didn't reach the hash, as it was very slightly on someone's property, but it was close enough to the fence that I could successfully claim it.
Photos
(I've figured out how to keep the photo metadata from my phone this time)
Start of the firetrack (+ my shadow)
Random pile of (probably) scrap metal
Therm at the hash
I really need to get a dedicated GPS reciever
remembered to take a picture of my watch this time
Road signs to Macclesfield, Strathalbyn, and Mt Barker
