Report
Google maps had the location as being roughly 4m in and 10m across from the back left corner of the Fujitsu building.
I caught a bus out to Waterloo road, and spotted a woman hiking around and carrying a GPS... obviously a geohasher on the prowl. The buildings weren't letting her get an accurate fix on the coordinates, but the measurements allowed us to find the right part of the building to walk up to.
We thought we'd have to draw an X on the side of the building closest to the point, but we came across a ramp entrance that cut into the side of the building by almost ten metres - right at the appropriate spot!
So we eyeballed the right location and made an X out of sticks (neither of us having the forethought to bring chalk). We then duly commemmorated the occacsion on film, and retured to a nearby table and chairs to chat and play a game of Fluxx.
We hung around for about half an hour, as we'd seen that at least one other person ahd said they were coming... but nobody else rocked up... and the skies were darkening. We took off just as the rain came in.
