Expedition
Goldcont & Bluecont braved the frosty weather to complete the first Geohash of their year.
Venturing into the local fields armed with nothing more than their wits and a compass (the compass was by far the more useful tool). The Exact point located itself in the middle of an open field guarded on all sides by waterways, tauntingly so, as can be seen from the pictures below.
